Description
The Former Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs and St Michael is a building dating from 1889, originally known as the Church of St Michael at Westport in Wareham. It was relocated to its current site in 1906-1907 and designed by Architect Canon A Scoles. The church is constructed of rock-faced Portland stone with ashlar dressings and features a pitched slate roof with tile cresting and coped gables. It is a single-storey, aisleless structure with corner buttresses and additional buttresses along the west side.
The north end of the church has three simple lancet windows with linked hood moulds, a string course above, a rose window with bar tracery, and a pointed niche containing a statue of the Virgin and Child in the gable end. The west side features planked double doors set in a moulded pointed arch with a hood mould and a plain tympanum, along with six pairs of paired lancets that also have hood moulds.
This church is part of a group that includes Nos 13 to 15, The Old Ship Public House, No 18, 19, The Royal Oak Public House, and Nos 21 to 24.
