History
There has probably been a church here from the earliest times of Christianity in England. Formerly it was the parish church of Chelsea when it was a village, before it was engulfed by London. The building orginally consisted of a 13th century chancel with chapels to the north and south (c.1325) and a nave and tower built in 1670. Christianity is a monotheistic[1] religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament. ...

The chapels were private property. The one to the north was called the Lawrence Chapel and was owned by Chelsea's Lord of the Manor. The chapel to the south was rebuilt in 1528 as Sir Thomas More's private chapel. The date can be found on one of the capitals of the pillars leading to the chancel, which were reputedly designed by Holbein. The title of Lord of the Manor arose in the English medieval system of Manorialism following the Norman Conquest. ...
