Pissarro painted this from the extension at the back of 62 Bath Road, Bedford Park. That church is three quarters of a mile away. The view is now blocked by two buildings next to 62 Bath Road, but beyond those houses the view is still there.
The view across Stamford Brook Common to the house in the middle of Pissarro's painting is shown below.
In the aerial photo below left an arrow shows the distance and viewpoint from 62 Bath Road to the church. The aerial picture below right shows the church and the other main building in Pissarro's painting.
This is how the church looked in 1921. It has now been converted into private accommodation.
