St Alban's Church, Teddington

St Alban's Church is a former church located in Teddington, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England. It was dedicated to Saint Alban, the first English Christian martyr. The building, which is Grade II
* listed
, is still owned by the Church of England but is now leased to the Landmark Arts Centre for use as a venue for concerts and exhibitions.
==History==
In 1683 Charles Duncombe acquired a property opposite the parish church of St Mary's Teddington from The Marquis of Winchester, and named it Teddington Place.〔
The church was built directly opposite St Mary's Church,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Landmark Arts Centre )〕 on part of the grounds of Teddington Place. The house, renamed Udney Hall, was torn down in 1946. The site is now the location of Udney Hall Gardens.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Teddington )
The foundation stone of the new church was laid in 1887. The design of the new church, which was built in 1889 and consecrated in 1896,〔 was commissioned by its first vicar, Rev. Francis Leith Boyd, who had been appointed as Vicar of Teddington in 1884 when he was 28, officiating at the parish church of St Mary.〔 It was designed in the French Gothic style by local architect William S Niven.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Our History )〕 Niven's name is engraved on the external wall at the west end of the south aisle wall.〔
Most of the stonework is in Doulton limestone from Shepton Mallet, Somerset. The finer grain material used internally in partitions is Corsham limestone from Wiltshire.〔 The internal fittings were by A H Skipworth.〔 The location of the pulpit, halfway down the nave, follows the French style. Its simple canopy was replaced in 1902 by a design in carved oak, embellished by gilded representations of three orders of angels.〔
The window on the eastern side of the north transept, featuring Jonah and the Whale, was designed by Charles Eamer Kempe and was modelled on a window in Christ Church, Oxford.〔 Four more windows were installed in 1953.
The window on the west wall was made in about 1850 and had been originally installed in St Peter’s Church, Islington. Rescued in 1987 by the London Stained-Glass Repository of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass, it was dismantled and re-leaded for installation here in 1992.〔
The congregation had attempted to build a massive church, based on the Notre Dame de Paris〔 and, though never designated as a cathedral, St Alban’s was known informally as "the Cathedral of the Thames Valley".〔 Funds ran short, and a planned tower was never built. a wall, intended to be temporary, was placed at the west end. Also, the nave is shorter than in the original design.〔
In 1967 the church congregation reverted across the road to the historic but much smaller church of St Mary's.
The building ceased to be used in 1977 and sat empty and vandalised for several years.〔
In 1985 the video for the song ''The Sun Always Shines on TV'', by the Norwegian pop band ''A-ha'', was filmed in the Church.
Local residents, including Jean Brown (who started the campaign and later became President of the Landmark Arts Centre, holding that post until her death in 2011) and Irene Sutton, secretary of the Friends of St Alban's, campaigned to save the deconsecrated church and to establish it as a local community and arts centre.
In 1993 the temporary wall was replaced with a permanent one as part of the adaptation of the building for its new use.
