I have recently discovered that there are two stained glass windows from St. Paul`s in the Old Court Hall Museum at Milton Regis.

Kent / Re: Paradise Chapel/Congregational Church Milton Regis
« on: Wednesday 25 September 13 10:13 BST (UK) »
PM sent!
The first Pastor of the Paradise Chapel was William Erratt Parrett who must have lived in "The Manse" for about 26 years. He was the father of William John Parrett who founded the printing firm, W. J. Parrett Ltd. (East Kent Gazette). Although there are probably members of the family still living, the only one that comes to mind is Graham Parrett who was the MD of the EKG for many years. If you can track him down he may have some knowledge of "The Manse".
Another source of information would be the URC (Congregational) Southern Synod.

or The HRGS at
http://www.hrgs.co.uk/
Unfortunately this site has been `down` for some time now but if/when it comes back I`m sure I`ve seen some info (A Book about "The Paradise Chapel" (by John Clancy, I think). The local library may have a copy.
And a little snippet at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mrawson/dir08milt.html
Scroll down to "Churches".
Hope this is of some help.

Great pics, jibba. It took me a while to sort out the first one but I think I`ve `got it` now. With your permission I`d like to `lift` them to add to the others I have. Personal use only, not for profit etc.

jibba, have a look at this site on which you will find St. Paul`s Church in 1930. Also the Congregational Church (Paradise Chapel - up a bit and to the left of St. Paul`s) but strangely I cannot see the spire.
You were spot-on with your location! I`ve place marked St. Pauls on the website, it`s the one on the left.

Have sent a couple of emails over to those links, although both the Bowaters and HRGS sites are down. Hopefully they will be back online soon

Another two items from St. Pauls, now in Holy Trinity.
One of the two desks - it is not known which, as they are very similar.
The restored 1914-18 War Memorial.

I agree with you, Jibba. I was hoping to pinpoint the exact location this weekend, but things didn`t go to plan. I know someone who knows the EXACT location but I didn`t want to drag this elderly gentleman out in the pouring rain, yesterday. It was he that transported the two pews from St. Pauls to Holy Trinity on a wheelbarrow.
Hoping that the following may be of interest!
Two pews from St. Pauls that are now under the Tower of Holy Trinity, Milton Regis.

Thanks for your reply, jibba! I`m now in the process of `pinpointing` the exact site of the church. Although I remember it, the area has changed beyond all recognition and it`s now very difficult to determine exactly where it stood.
I`ve marked two areas on the attachment which can`t be far out and am hoping to be more accurate by next week.
