Date: | 1826 |
Nature: | 'The name of this place [Sandford] is derived from the cicumstance of Lord Mount-Sandford [Henry Sandford, 2nd Baron Mount Sandford] having, in 1826, erected and endowed an spiscopal chapel, under the provisions of an act of 11th and 12th of Geo. III. Though not possessed of any property in the neighbourhood, sympathising with a large population destitute of any place of worship for Protestants, his lordship liberally expended about £5000 in building a church, parsonage , and school-houses, besides securing an endowment of £50 per annum to the chaplain. These buildingsoccupy a very interesting site; the church is fitted up in a very chaste and simple style and is capable of accommodating 900 people...' (Lewis) According to Costegalde & Walker the church was built 'thanks to the initiative of local banker and evangelist Robert Newenham'. |
