Kidderminster's second major Anglican church also looms large near the centre of town but separated from it by the ring-road, its soaring tower being a major landmark to the east of the centre. It is a very impressive edifice and always commands attention when passing by.

The church was built in 1821-22 to the designs of architect Francis Goodwin and is a grand Gothic Revival homage to the Perpendicular style. The interior was originally a vast single space under a sweeping plaster vault with galleries on either side, but this was lost when the church was gutted by fire in 1922. The internal space was subsequently rebuilt by Giles Gilbert Scott on more traditional lines divided into a central nave and aisles by slender arcades, but otherwise remains a rather spartan space with little in the way of ornamentation or furnishings.

I was unable to get inside on this occasion as the church was firmly locked with few contact details. In pre-Covid days it was open for a coffee morning on Fridays, so that would be the best time to visit!
