St Mary and St John Catholic Church
opened 1855, completed 1880, a Grade 2 "Early
English" Gothic building.
The Catholic Church uses all the senses in Worship of GOD. The Church plan, a
Cross, reminds us that Christ died for us
all.
Symbols of Trinity - three persons in one GOD: Windows in threes;
three candles; triangles and trefoils. The church spacious and lofty: humans
small in comparison. Carvings; emphasising the cost of our redemption; Jesus thorn
crowned; Our Lady in sorrow; Peter weeping at denying his Master. Everywhere
angels: "Let all the angels worship Him".
To Him who sits on the throne
and to the Lamb
be blessing and
honor and glory and might
for ever and ever. (Revelation
5.13)
