Description:The land on which the church is built was purchased in 1919-20. The first building was a wooden chapel built using resources from the disused German internment camp on Cannock Chase and labour supplied by the Cannock and Rugeley Colliery Co. Funding still had to be raised to build the church and the first sod was cut in 1927. Uniquely for the time, the church was built on a concrete raft that could be jacked in the event of mining subsidence. After the laying of the foundation stone in 1928, work ceased to allow settlement to take place for almost two years. The reinforced concrete construction is faced with white granite rendered to look like natural stone. The church was finally opened in 1934.
