Description

  
Source Number  

1 A mission was started by the parish church in Satchwell Street, one of the humbler areas of the town. It first occupied a temporary building. Later a more substantial structure was put up, enriched by numerous gifts. In 1903 the chancel was lengthened and the vestries enlarged, but despite more renovations in 1923 the building was shortly afterwards demolished.
2 This could be the church marked on the Ordnance Survey map of 1905, and located just to the south of the Baptist Chapel, (WA2400)..
