Background
History
The original building, designed by Samuel Angell, was consecrated in 1842 and extended in 1874. A new church was designed by J. S. Alder in 1898, with the foundation stone for the current building being laid in 1900. The completed church was consecrated by the Bishop of London (Rev. Arthur Winnington-Ingram) on 30 June 1902. The building was gutted by World War II bombing, and the restored church was rededicated in 1952. The church centre's foundation stone was laid on 20 May 1994 and can be viewed in the bookshop. The church spire was completed in 1910; the site of the church itself is at over 300 feet above sea level. With its tall tower and spire, the church stands at 179 feet tall.
