Church hall on Ruskin Road originally built to house the local Methodist congregation, which since 1861 had met in a chapel on North Street where Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church now stands (see Image). The foundation stones were laid on 30 September 1911 and the building was completed the following year. For close ups of the foundation stones, see Image, Image, Image, Image and Image With the rapid development of Carshalton in subsequent years, it became too small for the congregation and a new church was built next door, completed in 1926. The original building included a spire on the turret on the right of the building but this was removed in 1926 on completion of the new church.
