St Patricks Roman Catholic Church

St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church built between 1889 and 1891, designed by John Kelly. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features Welsh slate roofs. The church has ashlar coped gables with kneelers and cross finials. The nave and chancel are covered by a continuous roof, and the building includes an eastern porch, a baptistery, side aisles, and a curved apse to the west.

The east entrance front features a continuous lean-to porch with a gabled central section, which has a central doorway in a deep pointed archway with double doors. On either side of the doorway are single 2-light pointed windows under flat hoods. To the left, there is a similar 3-light window, and to the right, a round-ended baptistery with three single-light windows. Above this is a very large 9-light pointed arched nave window, flanked by angle buttresses. The nave has ten pointed arch windows on each side, all of which are 3-light with ashlar tracery. The aisles have five gables on both sides, each with two 2-light pointed arch windows. The chancel features two tall pointed arch windows that rise through the eaves and are topped with paired coped gables. The blind curved apse to the west is decorated with brick patterning.

Inside, the church has five bay nave arcades supported by circular ashlar piers, along with a single similar arch leading to the chancel. The boarded wooden roof is supported on corbel shafts. The aisles have inner arches leading to side chapels, which originally had linking doors. These chapels contain various decorated altar pieces, some of which are very fine, featuring alabaster reredos and carved figures. Between the chapel arches are carved relief panels representing the stations of the cross. The church also has a fine octagonal wooden font and original wooden pews. The western chancel apse features a painted representation of Christ Crucified, created by Belgian artists.
