Laying the foundation stone for the Devizes Road Church Hall<\/p><\/div>\n

On July 1st<\/sup> 1913 the foundation stone for the new Church hall in Devizes Road was laid. After many years of service, this hall was sold to the Salvation Army and is still in full use today. The money raised from that sale has been put towards the\u00a0 building of a new Community centre for the people of Old Town. This, plus generous grants from the Borough council, the Garfield Weston Trust and the Hills Group made available through the Landfill Communities Fund, have enabled building to get underway.<\/p>\n

Now, almost exactly 100 years later, as we lay the foundations for a new Community Centre on the Christ Church Site, the children of King William Street School have put together a time capsule project. The capsule\u00a0was donated by Mr Mark Hillier (Hillier\u2019s Funeral Service) and engraved by Richard Deacon of Deacon & Son. It will be buried in the foundations of the new centre for future generations to discover.<\/p>\n

It contains items that create a snap-shot of life in 2013 as visualised by the children.<\/p>\n

To mark the foundation laying of the new Community Centre, school year representatives from each year came to Christ Church to supervise the burial of the time capsule.

    The new centre is expected to be completed in September\u00a0and will include a large hall, kitchen, meeting rooms, storage area and will feature a Garden Room at the east end\u00a0offering hospitality to those visiting both the church and the burial ground. It will also provide toilet and refreshment facilities as well as a garden of reflection and information area.<\/p>\n
