Site of first Religious Radio Broadcast to a UK Church


on air

Built in 1880, our church holds a unique place in history as the site of the first religious radio broadcast to a UK church. This groundbreaking event which took place on the 30th July 1922, allowed worshippers in Christ Church to hear Dr James Ebenezer Boon as he broadcast from Blackheath, paving the way for modern Christian broadcasting.

In 2023, Paul Kerensa a well known writer and comedian, visited the church and re-enacted the broadcast, as shown here.

From its early days, our church has been a beacon of faith, committed to spreading the Gospel through both traditional and contemporary means. Today, we continue to honor this legacy, fostering a community feel, rooted in the love of Christ and dedicated to serving our neighbors with compassion as part of our Christian values.
