Wrockwardine Wood. The Nabb mission church, Wrockwardine Wood. This picture is a cutting from the Telford Journal of May 24, 1990, and may show the church in the 1970s (the pictures came to the paper in 1990 from church member Mrs Barbara Dawes, of Skando, The Nabb). It was brought in by Mr Terry Wright, of Telford. He was church secretary for four months short of 25 years, serving until the end of the church. The church closed on Sunday, June 3, 1990, with a thanksgiving service to mark more than 106 years. According to Mr Wright it was demolished the following day because of the threat of vandalism.
