| THE PARISH CHURCH WAS BUILT IN 1942. WHILE REFLECTING THE PRE VATICAN II LITURGY OF THE CHURCH, THE MATERIALS ARE MODERN BRICK AND THE STYLE IS AN ATTRACTIVELY MODERNISED GOTHIC. THE UNUSUAL AND ATTRACTIVE CIRCULAR ENTRANCE PORCH DRAWS ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY TO THE FRONT. A PLAIN CROSS ADORNS THE WEST WALL. BUILT AS A LATIN CROSS THE CENTRAL TRANSEPTS CAN CLEARLY BE SEEN TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE NAVE. NEXT |
| FROM THE SOUTH SIDE THE LOW AISLES CAN BE SEEN. ON THIS SIDE THE AISLE IS WIDER AND THERE IS ALSO A PORCH. ATTRACTIVE GROUNDS COMPLEMENT THE WELL MAINTAINED APPEARANCE OF THE CHURCH. THE TALL SQUARE LANCET WINDOWS ARE AN IMPRESSIVE FEATURE OF THE TRANSEPTS, MATCHING THE CELESTORY WINDOWS OF THE NAVE, AND THE SMALLER AISLE WINDOWS. THE FULL-SIZED SOUTH TRANSEPT ADDS TO THE BULK OF THE CHURCH AND REINFORCES THE IMPRESSION OF STRENGTH GIVEN OFF BY THE CHURCH. TOP HISTORIC CHURCHES |
