Roman Catholic Church
Along Queen's Road the high wall encloses the former Queen's Hotel stables. These were built by George Lumley in local stone with banding, voussoirs and eaves of yellow brick; the entrances in the coach house range are marked by T-shaped cast-iron columns supporting a timber tie-beam truss roof. Note the builder's plaque in the gable end.

Please note the big four-light west window of this Decorated Gothic church and the squat base of an unfinished south-west tower and spire. Late-19th-century internal fittings include a carved stone reredos by Boulton of Cheltenham.
