GB 0074 P85/CTC1 1862-1986 Collection 2.16 linear metres Parish of Christ Church, Norwood , Church of England

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.

Records deposited by the vicar on 16 February 1956. Additional parish records deposited 20 August 1982, 23 May 1989 and 3 August 1989.
