Knowle Mission Room
Well maintained "tin tabernacle" in Knowle, part of the Anglican Tenbury team ministry. It is not shown on the 1903 1:2,500 map, suggesting that it probably dates from later in the first or the second decade of the 20th Century.
Tin tabernacles
"Tin tabernacles" (or more properly "iron churches") were produced in large numbers from the mid 19th Century into the early 20th Century. They were built with a timber frame, clad with galvanised and corrugated iron, and lined with tongue and groove boarding. Prepared as prefabricated kits, they were also exported to many countries overseas.
