Question

I can't find the church!

Answer

You can't see the church from the street. The church was built in 1733 and is uniquely sited nearly impossible to see from the street, as religious prejudice existed at the time. The front of the church is a party wall to a neighboring structure and provides no means of entry. The entrance from Willings Alley remains through a narrow arch with iron gates, which opens to an unassuming courtyard that conceals the nature of the church building. Please enter our ceremony in the Willings Alley entrance!
