Description of Archaeology and History
A large church and hall was built in 1876-7 to a design by William White, who designed several churches in London. Most of the church was demolished after a fire in 1970, the fine tower and spire which survived the fire was made redundant and demolished in 1994, apparently due to damage to the brickwork. The hall survived and is used as a community resource, while a new building contains the worship space and other facilities.
