An addition to the ever popular Church Micro series, a little bit of history about the church
St. Alban's can trace its origins to an ex Royal Navy galley building and this was the first church on 7 April 1957 within the parish of St. Faith's. On 2nd November 1962 St. Alban's was made a Conventional District. A new church building design to Scandinavian looks was dedicated on 16 July 1966 but it was not until 1 June 1982 that the new parish of St. Alban, West Leigh was founded, Originally constructed as a timber framed building, cedar clad, it became necessary to completely refurbish the church and adjoining parts.This took place in two parts,between 1993 and 1994. The timber cladding was replaced with a resin material and the interior re-insulated and lined. The pipe organ was dismantled and renovated at the same time. This allows the building to keep a spiritual feel whilst being light, airy and practical with great sounds.
The cache you will find close by is a nano, not too many places to place around this area without getting muggled easily.
