The foundation stone of the church of St Patrick and St George was laid on 22nd May 1911, and the church opened on 15 November 1912.This history is based on an original article (titled “Tommy Atkins Church” as it had been largely funded by the soldiers of Tidworth Garrison) and recent research by parishioners, updated in 2022 to mark the 110th anniversary of the church. Much information has been obtained from the War Office file (32/4326/90103) in the Public Record Office in Kew.
