Newly Configured Windows, Streetly
St Anne's Catholic church in Streetly has recently undergone a transformation that has fine tuned the building from a lofty but simple 1950s church hall (originally what this building was intended to be, a grander church was planned nearby but never materialised, thus the 'hall' remained as the church) into a much more obviously ecclesiastical building. The main difference has been the refenestration of the side windows, replacing large rectangular areas of glazing with triplets of round-headed lights to match the single facade window, all attractively finished in brick. The formerly plain east wall has been pierced by a new oculus high up (with a stained glass dove by yours truly) and the ceiling redecorated, along with some minor mural decoration in the apex of the altar wall.
On July 9th my new 'west' window depicting Christ the Redeemer was installed in the main facade and adds a splash of colour to the gallery area over the main entrance.
