Description
1957 by Matkin & Hawkins. Seated 400. Nave and chancel with tall pointed chancel arch of exposed brick. Matching north-east compartments for baptistery and confessional. The church has been internally reordered, from plans prepared in 1997 by Vincente Stienlet. The church is of reinforced concrete portal frame construction, externally clad with russet brown facing brick, roofed with Westmorland slates and with metal windows with reconstituted stone, brick or creased tile surrounds. On plan it consists of a wide aisleless nave and narrower sanctuary. Two projections at the west end, that on the north side originally housing a baptistery. A Lady Chapel gives off the south side of the sanctuary and sacristies give off the north side.
