St Mary’s Church, Causeway Bay, began as a chapel built in 1911 under the direction of Bishop Lander (1908-1920) primarily to provide a centre for worship for the residents of the Eyre Diocesan Refuge nearby, founded in 1898 to rescue destitute local women.   Before the church/chapel was built worshippers had to be collected from the refuge and taken to St Stephen’s Church on Bonham Road, some 5 miles away.
