St. Joseph's Church in Lower Froyle was built by Sir Hubert Miller in the 1890's on this small plot of land opposite the Prince of Wales Public House. He was concerned that all should be encouraged to attend church and the idea was to save the villagers of Lower Froyle the walk of a mile or two to St. Mary's in Upper Froyle. It was supposed to be a temporary church until a permanent one could be built on other land in the village. However the Great War of 1914 delayed this and the land allocated for the permanent church was requisitioned to build council houses, so Lower Froyle never did get its new church.

The building was finally demolished in 1967, and the site is now part of the garden of the appropriately named “Church Cottage”.
