Roman Catholic Church Of Our Lady And St Therese
Ham Butts
Gloucestershire
A Roman Catholic church, formerly four cottages of the C16, later a slaughterhouse, converted to a place of worship in 1934, remodelled in classical style by Ellery Anderson Roiser and Falconer, 1954-6.
Architectural Features
Over the entrance is an oculus window, above which is a swept parapet with half-columns on carved brackets framing a niche, and above this an octagonal cupola for the belfry, on a scrolling base, surmounted by a gilt orb and cross.
The entrance gives access to the narthex beneath the gallery, which is supported on Roman Doric columns brought from Stancombe Park.
The roughly-hewn stone font stands to the right.
