A guide to Churches and Graveyards in Surrey for family historians
"The church was opened Thursday, December 21, 1899, by Bishop Bourne, of Southwark. The building, which was erected at the cost of Mrs. Currie, of Kingston Hill, is in the Roman style of about the fifth century. The edifice comprises a sanctuary, terminating in a semicircular apse, nave, two aisles. and two side chapels. The interior is lighted during the day by twelve clerestory windows and at night by electricity. In addition to defraying the building expenses (£6000) Mrs. Currie generously presented the church with an organ. Fr. Caspar Lutz, who has been at Kingston since 1891, has erected the presbytery and schools adjoining."Historical notes on English Catholic missions, Kelly, Bernard W. (Rev), 1907: St.Agtha's church is located in the Anglican ecclesiastical parishan ecclesiastical parish is an administrative area within the Church of England or Roman Catholic church. It is distinct from the civil parish, a local government unit in England of Kingston Hill St. Paul. We know of only three Roman Catholic cemeteries in the London area, St. Mary's in Kensal Green, St. Patrick's in Leytonstone, and St. Mary Magdalene in Mortlake. Local cemeteries may have Roman Catholic sections see https://www.kingston.gov.uk/deaths-1 St. Agatha's church is in the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames
Unless otherwise stated the dates for the creation of parishes are taken from Youngs, Frederick. A., jr.. Guide to the Administrative Units of England; Royal Historical Society: London, 1979 volume 1 Southern England.
