Description
"A large post-Vatican II church built on the longitudinal foundations of the predecessor church but with a centralised interior. Older buildings of the church complex include the school of 1907 and the presbytery.The mission was founded in 1907 from Brooms parish. A site was acquired on favourable terms from Lord Ninian Stewart who also let a house to the first resident priest, Fr (later Canon) McGill. On 29 June 1907, a large timber and iron church with side aisles was opened by Bishop Collins. The brick school building was also completed that year. In 1910 Fr John Maloney became the first resident priest.In 1934, the church was clad in stone and the interior plastered. It burnt down on 15 June 1964. A new church was erected in 1967-68 using the old foundations, opening on 28 August 1968. The architect was Anthony Joseph Rossi (1916-1971) of Consett and the builders were Henry Ayton & Sons Ltd, Blackhill, Consett. While the plan form is longitudinal, the interior of the church was planned with the new liturgical requirements in mind; the sanctuary was placed against the north wall, with the seating arranged (as now) around three sides. However, the current appearance of the interior belongs largely to a reordering of 2007. A weekday chapel was created at the southwest...." -
