Description
The Church of St Francis Assisi is a brick church built in 1860 by Clutton, with a Lady Chapel and Baptistry added in 1863 by Bentley. The church has a low profile and an apsidal (semicircular) east end. It comprises a four-bay nave, with no clerestory, and a north aisle. The Lady Chapel is positioned tangentially to the northeast and also has an apse. The church's fittings, designed by Bentley, are notable for their richness, including a high altar and font built from contrasting marbles and supported by stumpy columns with stiff leaf capitals. A decorative wooden cover adorns the font, and a wrought iron screen defines the Baptistry. The church is designated as a Grade II* listed building, reflecting the significance of Bentley’s contributions.
