St Francis Centre interior
The main hall of the St Francis Centre, photographed from the second floor. The Category A listed church was converted into a community centre in 1998, and a set of free-standing rooms was built inside the nave, leaving the fabric of the building intact. There are several meeting rooms, as well as the main hall seen here, which is used for a variety of community activities, and it can seat 200 people when used as an auditorium. Much of the carved stonework has been covered over for its protection, but other areas can still be seen, as in the apse.
