Hindhead history

---

Hindhead became a substantial settlement in the late 19th century. In 1904 a temporary mission church was built to serve the new community. A series of stained-glass windows by the Arts and Crafts designers Karl Parsons and Christopher Whall were installed in the unfinished church. The three eastern bays of the nave were consecrated in 1915, but the two western bays were not built until 1929–31.
