(The former) St. Wilfrid's Church, Elm Grove / Whippingham Road, BN2
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 .

St Wilfrid's Flats
Built on the site of a former anglican church, the church was originalkly built in 1932 and was described by Sir John Betjement as £about the best 1930s church there is". To reflect this architectural merit it was eventually listed Grade II.
It was not known at the time the Church was built in 1932, that the blue asbestos used in the ceiling would become a health hazard. Due to the many problems with the building, which arose in later years, it was decided that St Wilfrid's would be closed despite vigorous petitions from the Parish and beyond. A public enquiry was held over its future. The Church Commissioners dropped a plan to demolish it following the inspector's recommendation and it was converted into sheltered housing for the elderly. The closing service of Thanksgiving was held in 1980 http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/page_id__6594_path__0p115p187p951p.aspx
