Description: | Known as the 'Tin Tabernacle', St. Pauls Church was a temporary, prefabricated, ecclesiastical building, made from corrugated galvanized iron. The prefabricated Churches were meant as only temporary means until new Churches could be built. Originally Ashby did not have a Church, being a township in the parish of Bottesford, and so a church-school was erected in 1863. However, by 1891 the population had swollen to 1,634, owing to the growth of iron-making, hence the need for the Church of St. Paul's. It was used as a Church, seating 400, until 1925 when the present Church was built. After this is it was used as a Parish Hall until 1939 when a new purpose built hall was erected. This building was eventually demolished after 40 years of use. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | High_Street Places Buildings_and_Structures St._Paul's Churches_and_Chapels Tin_tabernacle Ashby | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
