Summary Description

A small 20th century church of brick, with a striking sloping silhouette. It was built in 1968 to a design by Graham Wright & Partners, replacing an earlier church of 1922. The main design feature the steeply sloping monopitch roof culminating in a plain belcote (the bell hung externally) with cross finial at the north-west corner, presenting a tall and almost blank facade to the main approach on Broad Street. This is only broken by a mullioned and transomed strip window from the roof to a door in the middle, a strip window in the side walls to the chancel, and a large hooded figure of St Chad.
