vanguard3: I'm afraid this excellent puzzle & cache (I said so) is no more. Garden improvements prevail.Some enjoyed it & got there immediately- a lot to be said for Sunday school. Others needed help. The replacement will not tax you so much,

The first Mass in Rayleigh since the Reformation was celebrated on August 23rd 1931 at No. 54 London Hill.
 
In July 1933 a site for a church on London Hill was purchased together with an adjoining house. 
On April 22nd 1934, Bishop Doubleday laid the foundation stone of the church of Our Lady of Ransom. Work proceeded on the church  but lack of funds meant that it could not be completed. This did not prevent it from being solemnly blessed and opened by Bishop Doubleday on Monday, September 24th, the feast of Our Lady of Ransom. 
 
In 1963, work recommenced. The East aisle, baptistry and sacristy were built and the narthex was enlarged. 
In 1965 the sanctuary was constructed and the High Altar and Blessed Sacrament Altars erected, the High Altar being the first permanent free standing one in the diocese. 
The first Mass in the completed church was celebrated on December 8th 1965.
The church was consecrated by Bishop Bernard Patrick Wall on June 1st 1967.
