Description
The Church of St Oswald is a Roman Catholic church located on St. Oswald's Street. It was designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin and features a west tower with a broach spire, built in 1842. The remainder of the church was rebuilt between 1951 and 1957 by Adrian Gilbert Scott. The church is constructed of red sandstone, concrete, and brick.
The tower has diagonal buttresses and a pointed west entrance that lacks capitals, featuring a hood mould with head stops. Above the entrance is a three-light window with reticulated tracery. The third stage of the tower includes cusped lancets on three sides, while the top stage has paired two-light bell openings with geometrical tracery, situated above weathering. The broach spire is adorned with three tiers of lucarnes on alternate faces. There is also a canted stair turret on the south side, topped with a hipped stone roof. The rest of the church is noted to have no special interest.
