The photo above is a view of St Nicholas Church in Sutton. The photograph is in a format of a Carte de Visite (CdV). It's about 2.5 inches wide x 4.25 inches long(65mm x 106mm). CdVs were popular in the 1860s and early 1870s.
St Nicholas Church was rebuilt in 1864 and so this makes it a very early image of the new Victorian Church.
The image has been taken towards the west of the church. By 1895 this view would have been blocked by glass houses belonging to a new large house built off Cheam Road.
The land is shown as empty in the Ordnance survey of 1871, which had been surveyed in 1866 and 1867.
This provides further evidence of the early date of the photograph.
