History Chelsea Old Church was bombed in the Second World War and almost completely destroyed. It now stands again - as it always did - by the Thames in central London. An important history of the church has been published. It is called "Chelsea Old Church, The Church that would not die". It is written by Alan Russet and Tom Pocock and the foreword is by John Simpson CBE, world affairs editor of the BBC. The book is lavishly illustrated and costs £25. For more details ring the Parish Office. Since the major redevelopment of the Church, the new Vicarage stands alongside our Church Hall which is called Petyt Hall. The buildings were designed by another John Simpson - who was also the architect for the picture gallery at Buckingham Palace.
