Pedigree: Built as a family memorial in 1909, this Romanesque church in Greater London has been

transformed into a novel home in which vaulted ceilings, brick walls, and stone arches provide a

handsome backdrop to modern rooms (including an indoor pool with a Jacuzzi and steam room). The

building, which was never consecrated, served as an antiaircraft command center during World War II

and later, due to its amazing acoustics, was used as a recording studio.
