An Anglican church built in 1966. William Temple was Archbishop of Canterbury in the 1940s. The church website https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/842/page/1568/view/ has quite a bit about him, including the following little known fact: "He was the second son of Archbishop Frederick Temple (making him, thus far, the only Archbishop of Canterbury who was themselves the son of an Archbishop of Canterbury) " There is also information about the building. Another quote: "The stained glass windows were made from glass salvaged from a bombed out church in Surrey docks. "
