Iron or Parish Rooms
A church or parish room was situated in the grounds of the first vicarage, it was referred to as the Iron room.The adjoining map shows a rectangular building between the vicarage and the Main Road. it is assumed this was the old parish or Iron room
The vicarage ceased to be used as a vicarage in 1983 and the Iron Room was demolished in 1985 around the time a new church hall was erected behind Holy Trinity Church.
The vicarage or parsonage house was built in 1874, with the ‘Iron Room’ being added a few years later.
In the 1930s we have a press report that ‘children of Holy Trinity Sunday School spent a very jolly time at the Iron Room on the occasion of their annual winter treat.’ Games were organised by the Rev Chapman’s wife and the children were given gifts of apples, oranges and sweets.
In the 1980s the vicarage together with the former church room was sold off.
