A place of worship has existed on the site of the present church since 1787 when a Chapel of Ease was built by Lord Portman to commemorate the Battle of Quebec (1775). Nearby streets are also named after Quebec.
The chapel became delapidated and in 1911 it was pulled down.
The inspiration behind the new building was the Revd Bernard Day Douglas Shaw. Walter Tapper (1861-1935) was chosen as the architect. Tapper was an authority on church architecture. He was a Royal Academician, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and President of the Royal Institute of Architects. In 1928 he became Surveyor to the Fabric of Westminster Abbey where he is buried.
The Annunciation Group was short-lived and eventually absorbed into the Church Union.
The church is frequently closed so access inside is rare unless you want to attend one of their services.
You are stood at the corner of the church. In front of you is a monument to men who were lost in a war.
To fine the cache you will need to find the date of the war from this memorial. ABCD-EFGH
