Background

History

The church was opened on 23 July 1964 and it celebrated its Golden Jubilee commemorating fifty years of service in 2014. The architect was Gerard Goalen and the modern design won an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1966. The dalle de verre stained glass is by Patrick Reyntiens. It had previously suffered with roof issues. In 2012, roof membrane and reinforcement works cost around £300,000 which primarily enabled the removal of damaging rainwater from the church's flat roof. The parish fundraised to cover the cost of repairs with around a third match funding allocated by English Heritage as a significant contribution towards the works.
