The church of the Holy Name in Manchester is one of the grandest Catholic parish churches in the country, a vast building considered to be one of the best works of architect Joseph Hansom and built 1869-71. The tower is a particularly distinctive landmark, it initially remained unfinished for some decades until the upper stage was added by Adrian Gilbert Scott in 1928, a remarkable design that evokes his brother's work in Liverpool. The interior of the church is hugely impressive, a vast open space under a vaulted ceiling and richly adorned throughout.
