Last wedding in the old church, 1958.

One of the photographs “from the church archive” published on Voices of Kingstanding’s Christ the King page in November 2012, alongside a short history of the parish written for its eightieth anniversary.

The parish history pays tribute to Frank Chandler, “who ran the scouts and cubs”, and to his late wife, who sang in the choir.
