St Bartolomews Church
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 30 Sep 2006
Extraordinary church built between 1872-74. The houses either side may give an indication to the size and scale of the building where the nave is 135 feet high which as a far higher than Westminster Cathedral. The church was said to have been built to the exact dimensions of Noah's Ark and until the 1960s was a landmark for this area of Brighton. Unfortunately, the erection of large concrete office blocks and car parks have somewhat reduced the impact and scale on the surrounding area.
