More about this scene
Alexander Raphael, a devout Roman Catholic, was an important landowner who lived at Surbiton Place. He was the first Catholic Lord Mayor of London since the reformation, and St Raphael's was the first Catholic Church to be built in Kingston since this time. The Bishop of Southwark consecrated the chapel, which was designed by Charles Parker, in 1848. The estate was sold off after Alexander's death, and by 1855 a number of cottages and houses had been built in what are now Westfield Road, St Leonard's Road, and Cadogan Road.
