Almost incredibly, this Church was moved from central London to the suburbs. Moved brick by brick and rebuilt there.

This is wonderful! I would love to hear the full recording of Barry Rose's St Andrew’s Kingbury choir singing Wesley's In Exitu Israel, does this exist? I heard a snippet during Barry Rose's excellent presentation for the 15th anniversary of the archive !
