St Mary Magdalene, Woolwich

St Mary Magdalene, Woolwich, Anglican church in Woolwich, England.

St Mary Magdalene is an Anglican church in Woolwich featuring a stone exterior with a prominent tower containing eight bells. The building showcases classical architectural design from the 1730s and sits within spacious grounds that include burial areas.

The present building was constructed between 1732 and 1739, replacing an earlier church whose spire collapsed due to foundation problems near the River Thames. The new structure was designed to provide stability in this challenging location.

The church holds an important place in Woolwich's community life, with its interior featuring memorials to notable figures from the area. A distinctive pulpit mounted on rails celebrates Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, reflecting the significance this place has held for local people.

The church is located at St Mary Magdalene Crescent and is easiest to reach on foot through Woolwich's streets. It is advisable to visit during services or contact ahead to ensure access to the building.

The church grounds feature a lion statue dedicated to Tom Cribb, a renowned bare-knuckle boxer from the area. The sculpture captures a lion with its paw resting on an urn, a striking and unusual tribute.
