Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
Temple Fortune was served from the 1890s by a mission under the control of St Mary's, Hendon which conducted services at 24 Hendon Park Row. In 1915 its functions were taken over by a London Diocesan Home Mission, which held services in a temporary building in Cranbourne Gardens, serving also as a church hall. The mission district became the consolidated chapelry of St Barnabas, Temple Fortune in 1923, taken from the parishes of St Mary, Hendon and St Mary, Finchley. The original church of 1915 was designed by J S Alder and had a nave with apsidal sanctuary, south porch and east vestries. The chancel, part of the nave and the Lady Chapel of a new church designed by E C Shearman were built at its north end in 1932-4 but it was not until 1962 that a new aisled nave, replacing that of J S Alder, was dedicated. The architect was R B Craze and although the building was much plainer than had been intended in 1932 it matched the north end in scale, the colour of the brickwork, and the simple Gothic inspired design. The church was closed in August 1994 and subsequently declared redundant. The parish area was absorbed into the parish of Golders Green.
