Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart, and attached railings

The Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart, built between 1925 and 1930, is located on Queen's Avenue in Tunstall, Stoke on Trent. Designed by J.S. Brocklesby and completed by P.J. Ryan, the parish priest, this church is constructed from rusticated stone and features copper domed roofs, showcasing a Romanesque Basilica style.

The church has a northwest tower with a round-arched doorway in the north wall, above which are tiers of blank arcading that are elongated in the second stage. The bell chamber lights are also part of an arcaded tier. Pilaster buttresses at the corners create small pinnacles on the parapet. A giant archway leads to the west door, adorned with chevron moulding, a frieze, and a round-arched window above, all framed within a giant archway. The stepped gable features interlaced arcading, and there is a decorated round stair turret on the southwest side. The nave is divided into bays by deep buttresses over flat-roofed aisles, with each bay containing three round-arched windows in the aisle and a tier of three-lights in the clerestory. The roof is formed by a series of three domes, and the church has an apsidal east end with an ambulatory. Surrounding the church on the north side is a low stone wall with wrought-iron railings that feature geometric Art Nouveau detailing.

Inside, the church has arcades with clustered, banded shafts. There are several side altars in the north aisle, along with the main altar, all made of marble and richly decorated with inlay and mosaic. The bench ends are simply carved. Much of the labor for building the church and some of the internal decoration were reportedly provided by parishioners during the Depression.
