About this Church
A Victorian time capsule
St Catherine's is the only complete Anglican church designed by Victorian architect E W Pugin. Built in 1866, it has a needle-sharp spire and richly coloured stained glass. Inside and out, it is a time capsule of Victorian church design that has remained almost exactly as Pugin designed it.

Facilities & Hire
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
