In 1930 the Diocese of Chichester
erected a Church Hall in Ringmer Road, North Moulsecoomb, which was
opened on the 11th May 1930 by the Right Reverend G. K. A. Bell, the
Bishop of Chichester.

hall, and was intended to meet the needs of North Moulsecoomb. The
building was of brick, and it could accommodate over 200 people. The
total cost was about £1,500 of which the local community
contributed about £150.
