History and Architecture:
Land was originally acquired in Gloucester Road but, with the construction of the High Street Road diversion, this land was exchanged for a triangular-shaped block at the junction of High Street and High Street Road. On this land, purchased for £1,292.14.6, an all-purpose building was erected by the Church Extension Board at a cost of £4,787.11.3. The architect was Mr. Keith Reid. Most of the materials were imported because of post-war government restrictions at the time.
