Description
St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church built in 1905, with later additions around 1912. It was designed by the architectural firm Broderick, Lowther & Walker from Hull. The church is constructed of red brick with brick and ashlar dressings and features Welsh slate roofs in a Neo-Norman style. The nave and chancel are covered by a single roof, with north and south aisles and side chapels, as well as a west organ gallery and baptistry.
The west front features a large ashlar round-arched doorway, which includes a central polished marble column and three similar side columns, along with two plank doors that have ornate iron hinges. The tympanum above the doorway is undecorated, and above it is a large ashlar circular rose window set in a moulded surround. The gable is adorned with two ashlar bands and a coped gable with kneelers and a cross finial. To the left, there is a small octagonal tower topped with a domed bellcote that has a lead roof. The plain brick side façades contain eight round-headed lancets for the aisles, ten taller clerestory windows above, and two windows for the taller side chapels. The chancel and south chapel have canted apsidal east ends, while the north chapel features a curved apse.
Inside, the nave is supported by four round double-arched arcades on cluster columns, with similar responds. There are two much taller round arches leading to the chancel, which also has a large apsidal chancel arch. The raised choir is decorated with Rust's Vitreous mosaic tiles and a faience altar rail with wrought iron gates. A sloping wooden west gallery houses the organ. The interior features wooden pews and a wooden barrel vault roof supported by wall columns and ornate corbels. The high altar showcases exceptionally fine polished marble panels and painted plaster figures in niches, with similar but less elaborate altars in the side chapels.
