St Giles’ Church Camberwell stands on a site consecrated to Christian worship
for at least 900 years, maybe even longer.
There is a record in the Domesday book of the church existing in Camberwell.
Originally this was the Parish church serving a much larger area that included
the villages of Camberwell, Peckham and Dulwich. There are many ancient
Boundary stones to prove this. Read more...
SE5 Forum for Camberwell is an equal opportunities organisation. The
commitment to equal opportunities and diversity is demonstrated by the
inclusive and diverse nature of the organisation's board members, supply
chain and membership, from the point of view of ethnicity, gender,
religion, ability/disability and sexual orientation.
We seek to work with all faith groups within Camberwell. We have chosen
to highlight St. Giles because of the building's artistic and historical
importance.------------------------------------------
Please suggest any further items you would like included to the appropriate member of the Board.
