With its pale brick masonry and stone facings this is a 1966 reinterpretation by John Baptist Sebastian Comper of a traditional basilican interior, only its uncluttered simplicity and the forward position of the altar acknowledging modern liturgical practice. The fittings above the spandrels of the round arches, which suggest plinths to support statues of saints, in fact conceal electric lighting.
