The rapid growth of Boultham after the Great War meant that St.Helen's church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/528803 became too small for the congregation and the new Church of Holy Cross opened in December 1940. Popular tradition asserts that St.Helen discovered the true cross on which Christ died and the new church was dedicated accordingly. The architect was H.T.Rushton of Birmingham
