W. Allen Dixon

His heyday was in the late 1860s to the early 1870s when he designed at least five church in England, several of which are grade II listed buildings.

By the time of the British 1861 census he was living at 1 Park Square, Newport, Monmouthshire, with Elizabeth and his daughter Mary Jane Dixon (born c. 1848, Kingston, Sussex).

The family employed one servant, Catherine Murphy from Ireland, and had one house guest, Sarah Thorpe Gates (born 1834, Islington).

His Cliff Town Congregational Church, Southend, Essex, was built in 1865, and is a grade II listed building with Historic England.

[2] In 1868, he designed the Potters Bar Old Baptist Church (as it is now known), at Barnet Road, Potters Bar,[3] and his design for the Baptist Church in Station Road, New Barnet, was completed in around 1872 in a Renaissance style with elements of Romanesque.
