History
In the 1990s, the parochial vicar was the Revd. Dr Stephen Swain. Eucharist was held every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and on the weekdays (times posted on the church notice board). Eucharist was also held in religious festivals, such as Christmas, and baptisms were also conducted on this holiday. The parish also arranged weddings and funerals and Eucharist was held there on every Sunday and weekdays in church. Saint Jerome was the patron saint of this church.

There was a large stained-glass window with a depiction of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus over the door to the church.
