Bodley's last great church, a hall church in Bath stone whose fittings he designed almost entirely himself.
Christianity
G. F. Bodley built it between 1901 and 1907 in Bath stone, in a Decorated Perpendicular manner: a five-bay nave with lean-to aisles, a further four-bay aisle on the liturgical north, a chancel with a Lady Chapel beside it, and a bell turret on the western gable rather than a tower.
Inside it is a hall church - tall arcades on quatrefoil piers under a barrel roof, and no clerestory at all, so the light comes from the aisles and the great east window rather than from above. That window is of seven lights with reticulated tracery, and its glass was designed by Bodley and made by Burlison and Grylls in 1907.
The fittings are the reason to go in. The altar, the pulpit, the chancel stalls, the reredos, the font and much of the glass were designed by Bodley himself, which is rare even in his own churches. The Survey of London calls it without doubt one of his finest works.
