St Wilfrid’s church started life in an old school which was converted to a church in 1958. The first service was held on Friday September 19 1958. The foundation stone for the actual church was laid in October 1969 by Sir Barnes Wallis, of bouncing bomb fame, who was a former student at Christ’s Hospital School, where he later served as treasurer. The church and community hall was dedicated on October 14 1970.
