History of the Castle End Mission
1884
Mission opened. Its founder was Frances Whibley, wife of Mark Whibley local businessman. They lived at Hurst on Milton Road.
Mrs Whibley had started the Castle End Men’s Morning School in a cottage in Kettle’s Yard. She was a founding member of the Victoria Road Congregational Church and wanted to provide for the religious and educational needs of the poor. By 1884, she had sufficient funds to build the Mission Hall. Undergraduates helped her with the teaching.
