Church History


In 1997 there was a celebration for the 75th Anniversary of the Church. An excellent brochure was developed (copies available for only £1.00 from the Parish office). The history of the Church was instigated, from the original work by Prebendary Moor, completed by his wife, up until the modern day. The majority of the information was taken from the Parish Magazine. The details of which are given below.
