Statement of Significance

One of the largest and most impressive churches of its period designed by Thomas G Payne and built in 1934-41, without the intended north-west tower. The building is faced in freestone and comprises a lofty nave flanked by tall aisles, a substantial Lady Chapel to the left, and vaulted eastern apse with elongated windows. The main facade incorporates a large traceried window framed by an arch and octagonal turrets placed above a deeply-recessed porch. The building is notable for its elaborate window tracery and soaring hall-church lit by spectacular stained glass.
