Two interior views - 1, 2 (by kind permission of the pastor, J. G. Edwards). All © Gerard Charmley (2010). Link.
The site of St. Andrew (CiW). The present building is called St. Andrew's Lodge. Janet has a vague recollection of this building, and suspects (though has not been able to find proof) that this was a tin tabernacle. © Janet Gimber (2015).
