Belgrave Church, Torquay, Devon, England

Tree: Main Tree

Notes:
In 1866 a Joshua Wilson of Tunbridge Wells came to Torquay on a visit, he purchased a plot of land in Belgrave Road and erected a temporary church out of timber with a zinc covered roof and seating 500 people, in time the congregation outgrew this building so a plot of land was acquired in Morgan’s Nursery and a new building (shown here) was erected and opened in November 1870, it became known as Belgrave Congregational Church and although repaired after being bombed in WW2, was to suffer structural problems in the 1960s and was demolished in 1974 and replaced by Central Church.
