Rev Richard Marzetti, Chatsworth Baptist Church, points to the Norwood Forum Historical Plaque installed today, 18 September 2020. The original church, founded in 1878, was totally destroyed 76 years ago today at 7:05pm by a V2 rocket. Two residents of Chatsworth Way were sadly killed and many injured. The current church building was opened in 1959.
Norwood Forum is installing blue plaques in West Norwood town centre to draw attention to the social history of the area. More news in our next newsletter. Let us know if you spot any of those installed so far, and if you have any ideas for others!
