This Grade II listed Arts and Crafts hall was built as the Church of St Faith, early in the C20th. A new church was later built alongside, and the original building became the church hall. By the 1980's the hall had become rather shabby, and was a greatly underused resource.
The building was converted to accommodate a wide variety of functions that benefit both the church and the local community.
A mezzanine floor and gallery were inserted into the main hall, with removable acoustic partitions that allowed the space to accommodate a function room, gallery, creche and youth club. A floor was also inserted into the former sanctuary, creating a bar above, and a stage below.
The linking block between the hall and the church was altered to form a meeting room and choir vestry above, with priest's vestry, parish office, and a daycare centre for the elderly below.
Elegant insertions were designed to counterpoint the robust interior, and materials were limited to wood, glass and brick to create a warm, friendly interior.
