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
