Corner of Wells Street & Mortimer Street St Andrew's Church, c. 1846. Wells Street (centre diagonal) on an 1870s Ordnance Survey map.
Wells Street is a street in the City of Westminster . It runs from Riding House Street in the north to Oxford Street in the south. It is crossed by Mortimer Street and Eastcastle Street . It is joined on its western side by Marylebone Passage and on the eastern side by Booth's Place and Wells Mews.
St Andrew's church [ edit ]
Wells Street was once the location of St Andrew's, a Church of England parish church , completed to designs by Samuel Daukes in 1847, which was deconstructed and rebuilt in its entirety in Kingsbury , Middlesex, in 1933–34.[1] [2] [3]
St Andrew's was said to have the best parish church choir in London. In February 1864, the choir, directed by Joseph Barnby , performed two anthems by Alice Mary Smith ; this is believed to be the first time that liturgical music composed by a woman was performed in the Church of England .[4]
The actress Sarah Bernhardt married Aristide Damala at St Andrew's in 1882.[1] Count Alexander Munster 's marriage to Lady Muriel Hay at St Andrew's was depicted on the front page of The Illustrated London News [5]
Businesses [ edit ]
The Susan Small fashion business was based at number 76.
The singer Sandie Shaw also owned a fashion business there, in 1968.
It is also home to the Cartoon Museum , home to Britains cartoon and comic art heritage .
