Galvanised iron churches became popular towards the end of the Victorian period. They came in kit form from catalogues, and in a choice of styles and sizes; this is one of the smaller ones. Being cheap and easy to erect they were usually seen as a temporary measure, and were replaced by a 'proper' church when finances allowed. This is a late one, built somewhere around 1920, and is also one of the relatively few remaining in use.
