History and Architecture:
In May, 1883, a block of land was purchased, and a small church built at a cost of £640, which was opened in November of the same year.
The original Foundation stone was laid on 25 November 1922 by G.S. Wright and Jas Shearing. The Henley Fulham Congregation was formed on 31st October 1999 from an amalgamation of three congregations: Fulham, Temple and Wesley. The Architect was Charles Walter Rutt. The Church was opened on 5 Aug 1923.
By 1927 the old church was left standing and an octagonal structure to contain the pulpit and choir and seating accommodation for several hundred worshippers was built on to the front. The old building was then utilised as a naive. The church is built on the lines of Byzantine architecture, with Gothic adornments on the exterior.
The Henley Fulham Congregation was formed on 31st of October 1999 from the amalgamation of 3 congregations: Fulham, Temple and Wesley.
