The Ardingly College Mission
The Ardingly College Mission was established in 1922 at the suggestion of OA the Rev G B Ince, who was Curate at St Gabriel’s, Poplar. In 1925, W H Cullen generously provided the money to purchase a building in Poplar with a gym, clubroom, library and canteen. The building was destroyed in 1941 and the trustees were unable to restore it.
Links with the OA’s Mission – St Katherine’s, has been rekindled through David Driscoll who is very keen for OA’s to visit, stay or hire their 1st class venue it is an oasis of calm in Limehouse, sandwiched between docklands, the city and the Rotherhithe Tunnel!
