The Mission Hall was built at Dawley in 1910 and dedicated by the Bishop of Kensington on Oct. 29th of that year. It stood in Dawley Road immediately south of Bolingbroke Cottages. It was transferred in the early 1930's to the site planned for St. Jerome's Church in Judge Heath Lane, where after the new Church was completed, it served as the Church Hall. Severely damaged in an air raid in August 1940 it was finally destroyed by fire in January 1946.
