Church Of St Jude

The Church of St Jude is an Anglican church located on Beaumont Road in Plymouth, built between 1875 and 1876 by architect James Hine, with the spire completed in 1881. The church is constructed from Plymouth limestone, featuring limestone dressings and dry slate roofs with coped gable ends, designed in an early and mid Gothic style.

The layout includes a nave, chancel, north and south aisles, north and south transepts, and a northwest tower. The exterior showcases large geometrical traceried windows on the gable ends of the chancel, transepts, and nave, while the aisles are adorned with lancet windows that have cusped heads. The three-stage tower is characterized by set-back corner buttresses and string courses that divide the stages. It features a pointed-arched north doorway, lancets on the next stage, and two-light traceried windows on the upper stage. A bracketed cornice supports a polychrome banded spire, which is topped with corner pinnacles that have slender marble shafts and hoods on similar shafts for the ventilators, culminating in a weather vane.

Inside, the church features corbels and capitals all carved by Hems, with choir stalls also designed by him. The stained glass includes patterned leading by Fouracre & Sons, with a south aisle window from 1895 that contains figures by the same firm.
