Description
St Baruch's church was located on the north side of Plymouth Road at its junction with Archer Road. A church of corrugated iron, a view from the south suggests it consisted of nave and narrower, apsidal chancel, north and south transepts, and a west gable bellcote.
The church survived until at least the 1960s but has now been demolished and residential accommodation built on the site, St Baruc's Court. The congregation moved to a nearby location (NPRN 97242).
