This is a view of the church from the southeast (liturgically north), showing one of its sweeps of zigzag copper-coated concrete roofing and the bell-shaped lantern of the baptistery. The architect, Richard Gilbert Scott, achieved astonishing results on a tight budget and at a time of experimentation and uncertainty - but also opportunity - in Catholic church design following the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) and its reforms. The building is Grade II* listed - see the listing at the Historic England site https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1245546 .
