More about this scene

The Abbey Church is by J Arnold Crush and was begun in 1928. The exterior is all brick, but the interior is white stone, which looks more conventional than the exterior. Building work is still in progress in this 1965 picture; a foundation stone was laid in 1964 for a lower nave and complete abbey buildings left and right of the church. The church was commissioned in 1963 and the design work was undertaken by Frederick Gibberd.
