St Nicholas, Tooting Graveney, is aChurch of England parish church in centralTooting, London, England. Dating in the Saxon period, the original was in use until 1814, when the congregation had exceeded the building's capacity. They elected to rebuild the church on a nearby site, construction of which was completed under prominent architectThomas Witlam Atkinson in 1832-33. It has since been recognized as a grade IIlisted building, and continues to operate, with services every Sunday.
The church of St Nicholas has its origins in the Saxon period, and is recorded in theDomesday Book of 1086. The original building was extended and altered many times, but retained its round Saxon tower. By 1814 however, the congregation had exceeded its capacity, and it was decided to rebuild the church on a nearby site, which was achieved in 1832–33 under the architectThomas Witlam Atkinson, while this new building was itself extended in the Victorian period. It has been a grade IIlisted building since 1955, and its archives are held by theLondon Metropolitan Archives.[1]
