Roman Catholic Church of The Holy Family

The Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Family was originally built around 1778 as a non-conformist chapel and was later reconsecrated as a Catholic church in 1953. The church is constructed of pinkish-red brick with slate roofs and stone dressings.

The plan is rectangular, aligned north-west to south-east, with apsidal ends to the main body of the church, and a short rectangular range projecting at the northern corner. The main body of the church is a single storey in height. The side elevations have a moulded stone cornice and two window openings. These windows have semi-circular heads, stone architraves with impost blocks and keystones, and multi-paned casements. Similar windows are present on the south-east and north-west elevations. The main entrance, centrally placed on the north-east side, has a stone architrave to the doorway, with a 20th-century door of six raised and fielded panels. To the left of the entrance, a staircase to a former open gallery now has a mid-20th-century wall enclosing it between slender timber Doric columns, with three semi-circular-headed windows stepping upwards. Above the entrance is a high apron with a large sculpted Crucifixion. A lower, single-storey range with a pitched roof, dating from the early 19th century, projects from the northern corner, with a vehicular entrance in the gable end and 20th-century windows on its south side.

Inside, the church is entered via a porch with double raised and fielded doors, some of which are glazed with small coloured glass panes. A small stone stoup was added in the 20th century. The porch leads into the curved north-east gallery, which is supported by two half-height timber Doric columns on high plinths and extends across two windows. The gallery front is panelled with pierced rectangles. A further double doorway to the vestry, in the early 19th-century extension, is to the left of the entrance, while to the right is an opening to the now-enclosed stone gallery staircase. The main body of the church has a continuous moulded cornice and a parquet floor. At the south-west end is a raised dias with fittings from around 1953. A panelled timber altar stands forward of a high, canopied timber reredos, designed to fit between the windows with a semi-circular arch mirroring their shape. A terracotta roundel depicting the Holy Family, discovered in Kidderminster and restored by Hardmans of Birmingham, is set under the canopy. Notable graffiti initials from the 18th and 19th centuries are carved into the interior of the gallery front.

Attached to the north side of the building is a glazed link and a circular meeting room, added in 2013. This extension is not included in the listing.
