Summary

Site of St Matthew's Church shown on the 1880s-1890s first edition Ordnance Survey Map. The building is marked as 'Sunnyside' on the second edition 1904-6 Ordnance Survey Map. It is likely that the reference to St. Matthews on the first edition map is an error as St. Matthews was built next to the school in Lee in 1860.
