St Peter's church hall, Gildersome - Brudenell crest
According to a local history website, this was the Sunday school building SE2429 : St Peter's church, and hall, Gildersome dating from 1837, and the stone crest facing the main road is that of the Brudenell family who gave the land, with the motto "En Grace Affie" translating as "Trust in Grace".
Church of St Peter, Gildersome

The original church on the site, a chapel of ease to the parish of Batley, was erected in 1774. Following a fire in 1873 it was replaced in 1876 by a gothic revival church by Adams and Kelley, consecrated in 1887. A history of these older buildings is given on a local website LinkExternal link

The Victorian building suffered serious subsidence problems in the 1970s (perhaps not surprisingly, as there was a coal pit nearby) and closed in 1981, being demolished in 1984. A replacement church designed by Bramhall Blenkharn Leonard of Malton was built in 1989-1992, and consecrated on 29 June 1992. The 'hall' part of the present complex was converted from the former Sunday school building dating from 1837.
