The Wiki entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Wilfrid's_Church,_Brighton says that St Wilfrid's Church is a former Anglican church. Designed and built in the 1930s to replace a temporary building in the densely populated Elm Grove area, its unusual design — not conforming with architectural norms of the era — was widely praised. It was declared redundant after less than 50 years as a place of worship, and was converted into sheltered housing with minimal alteration to the exterior. Shortly after its closure, it was granted Grade II listed status http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1380499 .
