Completed August 1952; the cross on top was dedicated on August 3rd. On November 15th, the Archbishop dedicated the new church, saying "I have rarely come to a new church to find it at once so full of the spirit and worship." The total cost of the church (and new vicarage) was £23,000. Beyond the church you can see the wooden church hall, originally used as the church from 1937, and at the end of the drive, the vicarage.
