Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church

Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church built in 1914 by Alfred Lord Braye. It features a brick structure with rendered sides and a Portland stone west front, topped with a slate roof that has gabled ends and circular roof lights. The church is designed in the Italian Baroque style.

The building has a rectangular layout with the entrance located at the west end and the sanctuary at the east end, flanked by chapels on the north and south sides that are illuminated by roof lights.

The exterior showcases a striking Portland stone west front divided into three bays, featuring Ionic giant pilasters that are paired at the ends. This is topped with an entablature and balustrade, and surmounted by an aedicule with volutes and an open pediment. The central doorway has a moulded eared architrave and panelled double doors, with an oval oculus above. The flanking windows also have similar architraves and bracketed cills. The east end is blind, as are the north and south walls, but they include circular lights in the roof. A wooden cupola is positioned on the ridge of the roof.

Inside, the sanctuary and the north and south chapels feature round arches and marble Ionic pilasters. Each chapel has a pedimented reredos and is lit by circular lights from above. The altar rails consist of marble balustrades. Notably, the interior fittings are said to have originated from Frogmore Chapel in Windsor and from Braye's chapel at Stanford Hall, Leicestershire, his family home. The ormolu work on the altars is also attributed to Braye's design.
