Background
History
The original church building was constructed in 1852 on waste ground in Church Street. Under leadership of Rev Edgar Pullen between 1889 and 1930, the church increased in size, with nearly 500 members by the end of his ministry. The present church building was constructed during the First World War to accommodate the larger congregation, opening in 1915.
