Architect: Lawrence Shattock, 1957, replacing an earlier church destroyed in a 1944 air raid. Here showing the exterior of one of the transcepts and a side-chapel. Built using pale yellow brick and reconstituted stone dressings, "compromised from the start by post-war building restrictions" [source: Taking Stock - Catholic Churches of England & Wales].
