Saint Aidan's history continued...

Picture
As the result of several very generous legacies, Saint Aidan's Congregation was able to commission the archetect Sir Basil Spence to design and build a new Church. This picture shows how Sir Basil intended the building. The foundation stone was laid in 1958, and the building was finished the following year.

The following pictures show the Church under construction and the finished Sanctuary.
