The space that is now the Secret Yard has always belonged to the church but after the land around the building was divided up and sold off in the 1980s no-one thought to put in a door so that it could be accessed from the building. This situation was rectified in 2014 with the simple conversion of a window into a door so it can now be accessed through the back of the cafe. The hidden space is now a planted yard with tables, chairs, a fire pit and other random items such as the pink plasticene Venus that was found in a skip at a London art fair and brought to x-church on the train!
