Church Of Our Lady Of Seven Dolours

The Church of Our Lady of Seven Dolours is a Roman Catholic church built between 1864 and 1866, designed by Edward Welby Pugin. It is constructed of stock brick with black brick and stone banding, topped with a pitched slate roof above a brick eaves cornice. The church features a Gothic architectural style with a tall nave and buttressed aisles.

The southwest entrance has a hipped roof and a mosaic in the tympanum, which may have been added later. The north aisle includes a one-storey extension with a row of lancet windows. There are small gabled extensions with rose windows at the crossing point, and the gabled east end showcases a large rose window above a row of narrow lancets, flanked by twin buttresses. The side aisles have smaller rose windows at their east ends and narrow lancet aisle windows with a continuous stone band at the spring. The chancel clerestory features quatrefoil windows, and there is a friary attached to the north in a similar style.

Inside, the church is plain and whitewashed, with a five-bay nave arcade consisting of narrow pointed arches. The chancel is panelled in various coloured marbles, and the ceiling is arch braced and panelled.
