Description: | The beginning of the parish of St. Paul's, Slough was due to Miss Kate Buee, daughter of Dr. Buee of William Street, Slough, who began holding meetings in a cottage in Stoke Gardens in 1882. Algernon Gilliat built a Mission Church with schoolroom and kitchen in 1885. In 1905 it was decided to form a new parish from parts of the parish of Upton-cum-Chalvey and Stoke Poges and a new church was consecrated in 1906 on another site in Stoke Road near to St Paul's Avenue. The Mission Church had a Memorial Hall built alongside and that was opened in November 1933. In about 1970 most of the original Mission Hall was demolished and the Memorial Hall was then occupied by the Salvation Army Citadel. On the 2005 Ordnance map there is shown a larger building which appears to incorporate the old Memorial Hall and is still used by the Salvation Army. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | Churches St. Paul's Mission Church | Temporal: | start=1882-01-01; end=1906-11-11; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Copy by Reg Harrison | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
