Saints Peter & Paul
The south door of Our Lady of Sorrows church, Bird in Bush Road - for other views see Image and Image It is not clear why the mosaic in the tympanum is of Saints Peter and Paul rather than St Mary to whom the church is dedicated.
The wording in the mosaic is "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church" - the words of Jesus when he gave Simon his "Christian name" of Cephas / Peter (meaning Rock).

Our Lady of Sorrows, Bird in Bush Road
What might be termed a muscular example of Victorian church architecture. Not exactly attractive, but not without interest, and designed by Edward Welby Pugin (son of Augustus) in 1864-66. Grade II listed.
