Dist:0.5km<br/>Christchurch Clarendon Park has since 1992 been a Baptist/Methodist Local Ecumenical Partnership. The church was formed by the congregations of the former Clarendon Park Baptist and Clarendon Park Methodist churches. The building looks as if it is either very early 20th century or Victorian. Photographed from Portland Road.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The notice board is on the hall's front wall. When photographed, it was displaying a notice for a mini-market to be held on the following morning. Above the notice board is a simple plaque. This reads: "H.C.B. Bailleul France June 11 1915". The background to this, is that the hall was named as a memorial to Henry Copeland Brice, who was born on the 28th November 1893. He became a lieutenant in the 4th Leicestershire Regiment, which was a Territorial Army battalion. He served in France and Belgium and died at Bailleul in France of war wounds. He was only 21. Lt. Brice was a pupil of Mill Hill School in London from 1907 to 1912. His name and a photograph appear on their Roll of Honour on their Mill Hill at War 1914-1919 website. His parents were Mr & Mrs. Francis Strange Brice, and they presumably were instrumental in the building of the hall. [[2362915]].
