Unusually constructed of corrugated iron (then considered an advanced building material), the Garrison Church in Deepcut was built in 1901 to serve units then stationed in the immediate area. It was officially dedicated on 29 September 1901 as St Michael and All Angels Garrison Church. In 1905 an adjoining acre of land was acquired from the Crown as a burial ground. Electricity was installed in 1911 and the stained glass east windows in 1922. The church was renamed in 1967. A brass plate and a window commemorate the formation of The Royal Logistic Corps, whose Book of Remembrance has been placed in the Church. The Corps Book of Remembrance is kept in St Barbara’s Church and contains the names of all those who have died whilst serving in the RLC, whether on duty or off duty.

The D-Day Memorial. The plaque reads :- OPERATION OVERLORD This stone was brought from the beaches of Arromanches by the Normandy Veterans' Association 'Surrey Branch' to commemorate the Allied Landings on D-Day 6th June 1944. On that day 10,200 young men gave their lives for the liberation of Europe. For a view of the church refer to picture Image

St Barbara's Church and the D-Day memorial. While the outward appearance of the church has been described as 'a corrugated iron structure of dubious architectural antecedence and indeterminate age' (actually 1901) the interior, with its stained glass windows, is a revelation.
