In April 1907, the Exeter Diocesan Trust received a plot of land from Samuel Pavey, on which a mission church or parish room was to be built for the hamlet's inhabitants.

St Catherine-by-the-Sea, Holworth

St Catherine-by-the-Sea is a Church of England church in Holworth, Dorset, England. The small wooden church, which forms part of the Watercombe Benefice, holds a service on the fourth Sunday of the month. History The church of St Catherine-by-the-Sea was built to serve the scattered population in and around Holworth, all of whom were at least two miles from a church. In circa 1887, the Bishop of Salisbury, the Right Rev. John Wordsworth, gave permission to Rev. Robert Linklater of Holworth House for Holy Communion to be celebrated in the house. The congregation became so large that services had to be held in the house's entrance hall. In circa 1904, a large kitchen in a nearby cottage owned by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Duke of Dorchester was also made available to local inhabitants for Divine service. In 1906, Rev. Linklater had a larger private chapel created by converting the house's stable block. The chapel, dedicated to St Catherine-by-the-Sea, opened for Divine service on 15 July 1906. The woodwork was done by Mr. Moore of Owermoigne and all masonry work by Mr. Walter Toms of Winfrith Newburgh. In August 1906, the chapel was presented with a bible gifted by Mr. and Mrs. E. Barnaby-Duke. It was dedicated on 12 August and first used during that day's evening service by Rev. Pickard-Cambridge, the rector of Warmwell. After Rev. Linklater's death in 1915, his wife, Mrs. Mary Catherine Linklater, sold Holworth House in 1919. She was particularly keen to find an owner who would continue the religious work of her late husband. Mrs. Linklater then moved into a nearby cottage. In 1926, she had a small wooden church, once again dedicated to St Catherine-by-the-Sea, built to the west of Holworth House, in memory of her late husband. It succeeded the house's private chapel in fulfilling the religious needs of the local inhabitants. Upon the death of Mrs. Linklater in 1942, she bequeathed £200 towards the church and also part of her property at Holworth for its future upkeep. 2010 refurbishment and extension In 2002, it was discovered that the Linklater Trust had approximately £200,000 available to spend on the church. Proposals were made to demolish the existing building and build a replacement, which was met with opposition from members of the congregation. A petition was launched to retain the existing church. In 2003, after facing pressure from local opposition and from Save Britain's Heritage, the trustees dropped their redevelopment plans. In 2010, planning permission was granted to carry out alterations to the church, which included adding a single-storey extension on the north and east sides. In addition to the extensions, the church was extensively refurbished. A new east window, designed by Simon Whistler, was installed as part of the project, as was a new electric organ. Fittings The church's bell was gifted by Lieutenant Commander Michael Forder of the Royal Navy. It originally belonged to the S-class submarine HMS Sleuth and was given to Forder by the Admiralty. It hung outside his house for a number of years before he gifted it to the church. References External links Watercombe Benefice website

Harry Hems & Sons of Exeter. It was dedicated and first used on 4 September 1892. Architecture The church is built of cut and squared Hamstone, with ashlar dressings and a clay tile roof. There is a small chancel at the east end and a north porch. The open timbered roof has principals of pitch pine and red deal.

The church was built at the expense of an anonymous benefactor, and the required plot of land was donated by Sir Charles Mordaunt. Other sites for the church, including at Fromefield and Clink, had been suggested, but the chosen site was favoured as it was considered more accessible to all of the surrounding districts.

All Saints was built at the expense of Mr. George Bullock of East Coker, the principal landowner of the Marsh district.

Designed to accommodate 160 persons, it is made up of a nave, chancel, west porch and north-east vestry. There is a small bell turret with a single bell on the west end of the roof. The church has seven windows; the east end three-light window and the west window contain stained glass. The church's flooring is largely of deal and the aisles paved with tiles from Poole Potteries.

Tyldesley Town Hall

Tyldesley Town Hall is a municipal building in Elliott Street, Tyldesley, Greater Manchester, England. Initially the local Liberal Party Club, the town hall went on to become the meeting place of Tyldesley Urban District Council. History In the late 19th century both the main political parties decided to establish clubs for their members in the town: the site the Liberal Party selected was open land at the corner of Elliott Street and Well Street, while the site the Conservative Party selected was open land on the corner of Shuttle Street and Stanley Street. The Liberal Party building, which was designed in the Victorian style, was built in red brick and was officially opened by the local mill owner and future member of parliament, Caleb Wright, on 6 January 1881. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto Elliott Street; the central bay featured a doorway on the ground floor, there were mullion windows on the first and second floors and on all floors in the other bays. There was a date stone, displaying the year 1880, in the middle of the front elevation at roof level. Internally, the principal room was the main assembly hall. Meanwhile, the local health board had established its offices in Lower Elliott Street, where it had also erected a fire station and a works depot; however, civic leaders decided that they needed more substantial premises after the area became an urban district in 1894. In line with the rise of the Labour Party and the decline of the Liberal Party across the country, local membership of the Liberal Club fell and the club got into financial difficulties. The local council decided to acquire the premises from the Liberal Club for £2,000 and converted it into a town hall in 1924. The council also acquired a fine portrait of Sir Thomas Tyldesley, a Royalist commander who served during the English Civil War, and arranged for it to be installed inside the building. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth drove past the waving crowds on the steps of the town hall on 18 May 1938. The building continued to serve as a meeting place for Tyldesley Urban District Council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government after the enlarged Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council was formed in 1974. Since then, apart from being used as a venue for councillors' surgeries and as a closed-circuit television control centre for the town centre, the town hall remained vacant. Following an announcement by English Heritage in September 2019, that Wigan Council would receive funding to create a Heritage Action Zone in Tyldesley, Wigan Council announced, in November 2019, a programme of improvement works to the town hall costing £1.5 million. The proposed works were intended to enable Tyldesley Library to relocate from its current aging premises in Stanley Street into the town hall, as well as to enable space to be created in the town hall for a café, a drop-in surgery and other facilities for community groups.
