Roman Catholic Church Of St John Fisher

The Roman Catholic Church of St John Fisher, originally a house built around 1890, was extended around 1905 by the architect C.F.A. Voysey. The building is constructed of red brick, mostly covered in roughcast, with stone dressings and tiled roofs. It features an Arts and Crafts style addition to the right side, which is two storeys high. This addition includes a long ground floor window with 12 lights, arranged in a pattern of 1:4:1, with leaded lights and a tile dripmould above. On the first floor, there are two three-light stone mullion windows. The ends of the building are supported by brick pilaster buttresses, and it has sprocketed eaves. The steeply hipped roof has a tall roughcast chimney stack to the right, topped with a tile-coped triangulated cap.

To the left, the earlier house has a projecting gabled bay, a rectangular bay window on the ground floor, and corniced architraved sash windows on the first floor, with applied timber detailing in the gable. There is a door designed by Voysey on the left return towards the rear, featuring heart-shaped ends to its strap hinges. At the rear of the later block, there is a ground floor addition from the late 20th century, a four-light stone mullioned window on the first floor, an entrance, and a single light window. A chimney stack is located to the right. Voysey also inserted stone mullioned windows into the rear of the earlier house, consisting of five and three lights. There is a one-storey hipped projection to the rear right. The interior includes round arches, fireplaces, doors, low picture rails, and ventilation grilles, all designed by Voysey. The building was formerly known as Hill Cottage.
