History

The church, an example of Gothic Revival architecture,[1] was built in 1870; the architect was Raphael Brandon.[2] A tower by Charles Lock Luck (1833/34–90), dating from 1880, was removed in about 1970[2] for safety reasons.[1]

A 1950s-vintage meeting room complex south-east of the church was replaced in 1992.[1]

Services and activities

The church holds services, with songs and modern music, on Sunday mornings and evenings. Programmes for children and teenagers are also offered.[3]

A midweek service is held on Wednesday mornings.[4]

The Crossing, the church's group for 14 to 18-year-olds, meets on Wednesday evenings during term time.[5] The Bridge, a club for young people in school years 7 and 8, is run fortnightly on Friday evenings during term time.[6] Glow, a club for children in school years 4, 5, and 6, is run monthly on Friday evenings during term time. Age-related children's groups are also held on Sunday mornings.[7]
