RC Church of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows

The Church of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows is a Roman Catholic church built from rock-faced grey stone and topped with a slate roof, designed in the Romanesque style. The entrance features a deep round-arched doorway, flanked by heraldic panels representing Wales and Malta, along with a third panel for the papacy, and a large crucifix above the door.

To the right of the doorway, there are two apsidal chapels positioned at right angles to each other, serving as the Baptistery and the Lady Chapel. The left elevation showcases three tall round-headed windows, followed by a projecting bay that includes a doorway and a window above. A square bell turret is present, featuring paired openings at the bell stage and a low pyramidal roof, along with a tall round-headed window. At the rear, beyond the apse, is the rendered end of the vestry. The right elevation includes lunette windows. Attached at the rear of the right side of the church is the Presbytery, a two-storey house with two windows, rendered and topped with a hipped slate roof.

Inside, the nave boasts a roof of open trusses with king-posts and raking struts, and the floor is made of quarry tiles. The apsidal sanctuary is adorned with five stained glass windows depicting the Evangelists and the Holy Spirit. Significant original design elements include Italian brass screens and gates on either side of the sanctuary, a baldachino above the altar, and a bronze crown of thorns on the altar frontal.

The right aisle consists of four round-arched bays and features a chapel at the sanctuary end, known as the Chapel of the Most Precious Blood, which is located under a lower arch and has a doorway leading to the vestry. The aisle is illuminated by lunette windows, one of which contains stained glass. The round piers of the aisle arcade are pierced with squints to provide views of the altar. At the west end of the aisle is the apsidal Lady Chapel, and at right angles to it is the apsidal Baptistery, which has seven windows symbolising the Seven Gifts of the Spirit. On the left side of the nave, at the sanctuary end, there is an arched recess with a confessional and a tall window located beneath the bell turret, followed by two arches leading to a recessed area. The nave then narrows and is lit by tall round-headed windows.
