| Summary : St Nathaniel's was an Anglican church which stood between Upper Parliament Street and Crown Street in an area known as Windsor. It opened in 1869 to designs by David Walker, initially as a Mission church from St Clement's on nearby Beaumont Street. From inauspicious beginnings - a congregation of four people worshipping in a cellar - the church and congregation grew, although on the day of consecration the spire had not been built, there was no gallery, no organ, and the walls were of bare brick. The main body of the church was destroyed by fire in 1900 but reopened in 1904 to designs by George Bradbury. After the surrounding Georgian streets were demolished in the late 1960s and the replacement Faulkner Estate demolished in the late 1890s, St Nathaniel's stood for many years in a wasteland until it was demolished in 1993; new industrial premises now occupy the site. |
