The Foundation Stone, seen inside the Church on the left of the west end, was laid by the Lord Lieutenant of Surrey, Viscount Middleton, on 23rd August, 1902. The Church was finished and consecrated on 24th October, 1903 by the Bishop of Winchester, as Guildford was then part of the vast Diocese of Winchester.
For most of its life it remained 'unfinished' - the southern aisle was not built with the original structure. This had to wait until 1999 when a new Church Room was added. This was funded largely from the sale of land adjacent to the church. This
redevelopment also
saw the demolition of the Old Parsonage and the building of a new Vicarage adjacent to the church.
There are regular services on Sundays and during the week, as shown on the calendar. Also, the new meeting room is used for both church and community activities - many of these events also shown on the calendar
You are very welcome to pay us a visit at any of the services, or if you just want a quiet place to pray or meditate, you'll usually find the Church open during the day.
