Overall the building has EXCEPTIONAL architectural interest for its intrinsically high quality Victorian design, the strong contribution it makes to the local townscape and the quality of the interior. There is considerable value locally in the well-aged, decorative stonework and roofscape which provides a sense of grandeur and is a valuable contribution to the local area. The interior layout and detail provides a strong sense of the scale and quality of the building’s use and development. Overall, the level of survival is exceptional and the building represents to a great degree what was designed and built by the architects.
With its links to the early Dominican Community at Blackfriars, the building is of EXCEPTIONAL historic interest, locally and also nationally. As a mid-Victorian church, it is an imposing statement of the confidence and ambition of the Dominican Order at the time. It is a prominent landmark in the development history of the area and a remarkable survival in an area which has seen dramatic change during the 20th century.
The building also has CONSIDERABLE communal value for its pivotal place in local history and in generating fond memories amongst current generations who remember attending services, special events and social activities.
