Church Overview

Originally known as St Phillip’s Church and built by prominent Scottish architect Sir John James Burnet in 1908 as a Scottish Episcopal Mission Church (then connected to St James’s Goldenacre), this delightful Edwardian brick building was taken on in 2021 by the Bridge Family Church, who have since restored and reordered the interior and turned the building into an active community hub once again.  

Built on two storeys with a steeply pitched overhanging slated roof and its church on the upper floor and community rooms below, it was constructed with bold, flat, red-facing brick and glazed red brick, except for the harled and leaded windows of the nave, which is built on top of the large arched windows of the massively buttressed hall below.

The south end porch and vestry were added in 1922. Internally there is an exposed brick finish, now painted white, and the the nave has exposed rafters leading through a round brick arch to the chancel with its two small rounded headed niche-like windows with stained glass.

The Kirk House Coffee Shop, a light and airy community café selling hot drinks, cakes and light snacks Wed-Sat from 9.30am-2pm, opened in the ground floor in 2024.
