St. George, Redfield, and Whitehall, on Wikipedia

The former Bethel Chapel (United Free Methodist) on Clouds Hill Road. Founded in 1858, it was later re-named as Clouds Hill Methodist Church, and in the 1960's, as St. George Methodist Church, when the church combined with the congregations of Victoria Methodist Church and Salem Chapel (both of these have entries below). The church was closed in 1989 when the congregation joined with Crews Hole Methodist Church and Clowes Chapel in the newly-built Summerhill Methodist Church, which had been built on the site of Clowes Chapel.

In the following year, it became the home of Bethel United Church. ST 62022 73512. © Carole Sage (2017). There is a webpage, but it currently has no content.

St. Aidan was a tin tabernacle, and stood on a site then known as Nag's Head Common. Founded in 1880, it ceased being used as a church when St. Aidan opened in the early 20th century (see next entry), but was still standing by the time of publication of a map of 1949, but it had gone just a few years later with the re-development of the area for housing. The site is shown in Carole's photo. ST 63172 73148. © Carole Sage (2018).

St. Aidan with St. George on Fir Tree Lane and Nicholas Lane.

The former St. George Baptist Church on Summerhill Road and Cherry Orchard Lane dates from the 1930's, and was a replacement for Clouds Hill Road Baptist Chapel (see above). An already existing Drill Hall at the rear was taken over as the church hall (ST 62509 73663). More recently, the congregation moved from the church into the hall, and ultimately the church proper was taken over by Lighthouse Church (see entry under that name, above, also). The church has since been converted into flats. Rise and Shine Church also met in the church hall for some time. ST 62509 73663. Both © Carole Sage (2017). Link (scroll down). Loxton made a drawing of the interior of the hall.

The Parish Church, St. George the Martyr stood on Summerhill Road (ST 62456 73615), and opened in 1752, and re-built in 1856. Destroyed in a fire, it was re-built again in 1879-80. Eventually suffering from structural problems, the congregation moved out and met in the adjacent Sunday school (ST 62379 73615). The church was demolished in 1976 and the site redeveloped for housing. In the mid-1980's, what was then the church (the old school building) was closed - the congregation merging with that of St. Aidan in St. George, which was a daughter church of St. George. The school building was eventually converted into flats. © Carole Sage (2017). Here are three of Loxton's drawings of the 3rd church - 1, 2, 3, the latter two also showing the Sunday School. There's a good history here, with plenty of photos.

St. Marina (Coptic Orthodox) on Blackswarth Road, Redfield, was originally St. Leonard Without. Another view. Dating from 1938, it had been preceded by an earlier Mission Church (St. Peter and St. Paul, 1907) on an adjacent site, which became the church hall when the new church was opened. The dedication of the original church was changed in 1925 to St. Leonard Without when the church gained support from the parish of St. Nicholas and St. Leonard in the city centre. St. Leonard closed about 2012, and re-opened in 2014 as St. Marina. ST 61807 73464 for the original church, ST 61801 73433 for the present church. All © Carole Sage (2017). Link.
