History
[edit]St. Mary's Church was built between 1838 and 1839 to designs by the architect J.G. Jackson.[1] 1897 saw a vicarage purchased at 15 St Mary's Road for £1,500 and the current vicarage (number 28) is also on the same street as the church. In the 1970s a substantial property called "Southlands" was left to the church.[2] This was promptly sold and a former brewery warehouse called The Maltings was purchased and used as a church youth centre called "The Landing Stage".[3] The Maltings were sold and converted to housing by the Orbit Group. The existing church hall was completed in 1996.
