Due to the generosity of Mrs Nunn-Harvey of Shanklin, who donated the land [which was part of the Briddlesford Estate] and paid for the building of the church and Sunday school it opened for the first time on Wednesday 13 September with a large congregation in attendance.

The new church is sited at the four-way junction at Wootton Common [now Whiterails/Briddlesford Road junction*]. It is constructed of corrugated galvanised iron, and will accommodate 250 people. There is an octagon-roofed chancel, with vestry and organ chambers on either side, with arches included in the design.
