Notes on Church: | In 1873 a group of Evangelicals, including members of the Wheeler family, left the congregation of All Saints Parish Church to join the 'Free Church of England'. In early 1875 they opened an Iron Church in Crendon Street, calling it Christ church from 1883. By 1889 a new brick and stone church (designed by Arthur Vernon) had been built to accommodate up to 500 people. But the congregation were already wanting to become part of the established Church of England again, and in 1897 a separate CoE parish was formed on the eastern side of the town. The new parish thrived for some years, but by the 1960s it was decided to combine it with All Saints again, and Christ Church was demolished in 1966. |
