St Andrew's Church, Ham
St Andrew's Church, Ham, is a Grade II listed Church of England church on Church Road, Ham Common in Ham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
The church was built in grey brick in 1830–31; the architect was Edward Lapidge. A south aisle with a rose window, designed by Raphael Brandon, was added in 1860, and a chancel in red brick, by Bodley & Garner, in 1900–01. The carvings of the screen and choir stalls are by John Harper.
The church has 32 windows; eleven with stained glass installed between 1901 and 1948, four of which are by Shrigley & Hunt. The three-light window at the west end by Hugh Ray Easton, installed in 1932, shows Saint Andrew in the centre, flanked by scenes of baptism and confirmation. The east window of the Crucifixion was designed by Sir Ninian Comper (1900) and was erected in memory of Harry Scott of Ancrum (d 1889) by his stepdaughters Violet Cavendish-Bentinck and Hyacinth Jessup. Surrounding the high altar are eight large paintings of prophets and evangelists.
There is a memorial stained glass window to Sir George Dance (1857–1932), a dramatist and theatrical manager, and his son Erik who died in a prison camp in World War II. In the eastern end of the south aisle an unusual memorial plaque to Edward S Borradaile; the plaque has an outline of the part of the Northern Territory where he and his companion vanished with a cross marking 12°S 133°E where they are thought to have died.
There are also funerary hatchments at the back of the church dedicated to Lionel Tollemache, 4th Earl of Dysart and his wife Countess Grace.
The cemetery also contains the graves of three war dead: Irene Daisy Collett of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (d 1943), Ronald Oswald Dibben of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (d 1942) and William Samuel Hudson Palmer of the Royal Flying Corps (d 1917). Also the grave of Dr. Frederick Carson who was a captain in the R.A.M.C. in WW1 and was awarded the Military Cross in 1918.
Members of the Shafto family are buried in the cemetery.
The church has a service on Sunday mornings, a Sunday School for children between the ages of 3 and 11 years and a youth group for older children.
