St. Michael
and All Angels was built in the early nineteen
hundreds and opened its doors for worship on 1908. The hall was built first, in 1904, and was
used for worship while the church was being built.
The Foundation Stone
was laid on 15th June 1907 and is set on the outside of the
East wall. It is inscribed with a plain
cross and the wording ' TO THE GLORY OF GOD'.
During 2008 we held
several events to celebrate our centenary.
These started with a centenary Four O'clock Service for the younger
members of the church. We then had two
services during our Centenary weekend. A
Centenary dinner was enjoyed by all and the choir sang Hayden's The
Creation. We finished our year by
holding an Exhibition over the weekend of our Patronal festival of the history
of Abbey Wood and its church. The
weekend finished with our Patronal festival Mass on the Sunday Evening.
