Description

The Church of the Holy Innocents is a church built between 1890 and 1898 by architect James Brooks. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and is designed in the Gothic style. The church features buttresses and lancet windows, along with transepts that have twin gables. It has a tall clerestory and a tile roof supported by trussed rafters. The nave is tall and wide, consisting of four bays with narrow aisles, plain moulded arcades, and stone shafts that rise to the roof. The wide shallow transepts are separated from the nave by piers, and there is a rood screen and a shallow chancel.
