Catholic Church of St Joseph

The Catholic Church of St Joseph is a Grade II listed building designed in the Italian Romanesque style. It is oriented northwest to southeast, with the liturgical east end facing northwest. The church is constructed from handmade Coleford red brick in Flemish bond, featuring stone dressings, and has a roof made of handmade Staffordshire tiles. The building includes round-headed windows.

The church consists of a nave and sanctuary, with flat-roofed narrow aisles on both sides and a small chapel located on the north side of the sanctuary. The liturgical west front showcases a tall bell tower and a wide central triple-ordered arch that contains a doorway framed by a decorated stone surround, with paired tall windows above set in a shallow inner arch. Above the doorway is a stone-carved figure of St Joseph, which was installed at an unknown date after the church's completion. The aisle ends feature tall narrow windows. The bell tower has a rectangular plan and is four stages high, topped with a pyramidal tiled roof. The ground floor includes a doorway on the northeast face beneath a copper tented canopy, a triple window on the southeast, and slit windows on the central stages. The uppermost stage has triple windows on both long sides and double windows on each short side, with a brick balcony on the southeast side of the tower. The aisles are fitted with five pairs of windows, while the sanctuary has four high-placed windows on either side, along with gable copings, kneelers, and a gablet cross.

Inside, the nave features a five-bay open timber roof supported by king post and queen post trusses. There is a gallery with a bowed front, with a narthex inserted underneath. On either side of the nave, there are five tall round-headed arches with small slit windows directly above. The narrow passage aisles are located on both sides, and the aisle windows have clear glazing with coloured borders. The sanctuary is accessed through a plain arch, elevated by four steps, and has a beamed ceiling. It contains a marble high altar, a retable, and a domed housing for the monstrance. The church also features a five-sided pulpit and a drum font on a fluted base, both made of Corsham stone, along with timber benches in the nave and cast stone Stations of the Cross.
