The Parish of St Alban was formed at the beginning of 1932, mainly out of the South Stoneham Parish, but at that time there was no St Alban's church, only a site on which to build it.
The site was large enough for not only for the church but for the vicarage and large halls; the importance of the grouping of the buildings means that they are collectively listed as Grade II on the English Heritage list of protected buildings [REF].
