1954. The Brigwater Drive Church, now a joint Anglican-United Reformed Church with services at their 1961b building, built as parish church within Prittlewell termed St. Cedds. Stone laid inside porch by Admiral Godfrey in October 30, 1954 and consecrated the next year, with the ships on the spire and gates added later also to reflect the maritime associations of Southend in 1939-45 war. I remember going in a crocodile of Eastwood Infants school children in December, probably 1955, to a Christmas crib and probable consecration service. The incumbent called himself father and it was not until I went in again in 2007 that I discovered it was not a Roman Catholic Church and never was. Shows smooth red bricks and they have applied to place a microwave transmitting phone mast on the uplifting spire as another own goal.
