This is Corpus Christi (R.C.) seen by Streetview in 2025, and dated in Pevsner to 1964-5. Link. The History page mentions buildings used for mass before the church was built - viz - the British Legion Hall, which, assuming it is the same as the present Royal British Legion building, stands on Western Road at TQ 5166 8888, and it was seen by Streetview in 2024.
