Downside Abbey Church

Dating from c.1882, the Abbey church of St Gregory the Great is one of only three minor basilicas in England. Sir Nikolaus Pevsner described the Abbey as "the most splendid demonstration of the renaissance of Roman Catholicism in England. If ever there was an excuse for building in period forms in the twentieth century, it is here"
