Biographical history
The area of Gipsy Hill began to expand rapidly in the 1860s, and a temporary iron church built in 1862 soon became filled to capacity. A larger, permanent building was constructed by 1867, designed by John Giles in a Gothic style. Saint Jude's Mission Church was established in 1880. A tower was added in 1889. The church was rebuilt in 1987 after a fire destroyed the original church, leaving the tower fabric largely untouched.
