Saint Wilfrid Church Heritage
A brief history by Peter Green and John Hawkins
Clergy of the parish of bognor
The Parish of Bognor has had three Parish churches. The first being St John the Baptist (Steyne), which was formerly St John’s Chapel (Steyne).
Upon its demolition, a new Parish church was built, namely, St John the Baptist, London Road.
When this church was closed (later demolished) in 1971, Saint Wilfrid church (Ellasdale Road) became the Parish church of Bognor.
