St Mary's Church Room Fund Raising
St Mary's Church Room was constructed in 1889 by local residents, from a kit of parts delivered to the sidings at Sole Street Station. It is one of the oldest “Tin Tabernacles” still in use in Great Britain as place of worship and is possibly unique in having stained glass windows. It was opened by the Rev G Blandford, vicar of St Luke’s, South Hackney, on 14 March 1889. The vicar of Cobham at the time was Rev. Arthur H. Berger. It is believed that the land it stands on once formed part of the garden of the adjacent listed building “Yeoman’s House”
The little hall has survived a lot longer than those residents of Sole Street who built it, might have expected all those years ago.
Local fund raising has begun, and the aim is to raise up to 20% of of the cost of the refurbishment locally, to demonstrate to prospective grant aid organisations the commitment of the community to the project.
