Two photographs of 19 May 1985. Church and foundation stone.
This church, in Elm Grove, replaced an earlier iron church often referred to as “the church on the cabbage patch”. When it was opened on 25 August 1901, it had been built on waste ground at the corner of Whippingham Road. The present building was completed in 1933 and continued in use until 1980, the last service being held on 27 April. The cause of its closure was said to be danger from blue asbestos ceiling. Unused for many years thereafter, it has now undergone reconstruction and is likely to be converted to residential flats.
