      Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church - Physical Description 1

      This is a clinker brick, conservative Gothic Revival church design, with a square corner bell tower, inspired by Saxon sources. The design is a modern interpretation of traditional sources with large expanses of plain brick and tile cladding, relying fundamentally on its massing rather than its ornament. The gabled nave has a small rose window, with other windows being in pairs or threes; the main entry is via convoluted pointed archway. Gabled bays relieve the massing of the side elevation. The church presents a more articulated version of the nearby Devonshire Road Methodist Church
