Church Of St Catherine

The Church of St Catherine is a parish church built in 1865 by Edward Welby Pugin for Lord Kingsdown. It is constructed from ragstone and features patterned polychrome tile roofs. The church consists of a chancel, nave, and a south-west tower that includes a porch and a vestry to the north. The tower is designed with angle buttresses and a crocketted broach spire, and it has geometric traceried windows.

Inside, the church has a scissor-braced, hammerbeam variant nave roof supported by demi-angels. The chancel arch is hollow chamfered and keel moulded, resting on detached marble shafts. The chancel features an inlaid waggon roof, and there is a carved tympanum above the vestry door. The church retains a full set of contemporary fittings, including a stone reading desk, an octagonal font, pews, an altar rail, choir benches, an arcaded reredos, and a complete set of stained glass dating from around 1867.
