free Church
|
The original Evangelical Free Church was built behind its manse in 1832 in Henfield High Street, on the corner of the junction with Cooper's Yard. In 1841 and 1851 the minister was 48/58-year old George Hall from Emsworth, with his wife Sarah. The manse was demolished in 1904 to be replaced by the present extension, and the old church hall was replaced by a new hall in 1998. The last minister in the old manse was 49-year old Frederick Whiting, who is listed there in 1901.
