St Peter's, Leamington Spa

St Peter's Roman Catholic church in Dormer Place, Leamington Spa is an eye-catching essay in brick and stone, distinguished by it's tall slender tower (originally crowned by a tapering pyramid-like spire) which is a prominent feature of Leamington's skyline. The church was built in 1861-5 to the designs of Henry Clutton.

 

The interior is bright and has a slightly continental feel. It is cheerfully adorned with a richly decorated sanctuary and stained glass by Hardman's of Birmingham, most noticeably in the apse and the two transept chapels with their charming rose-windows.

 

The church is usually open during much of the day for private prayer.
