When I looked up I saw a vision. Because my eyes were open and I was seeing the bottom of the roof (ceiling).

Westminster RC Cathedral was designed by architect John Bentley. The building was started in 1895, completed in 1903, and consecrated in 1910. The style is known as 'Edwardian Blood & Bandages' for obvious reasons, and is built of red brick with stone banding. The cathedral has the widest nave of any church in England. The decoration of the interior is ongoing. The plan was for the lower part to be covered in marble with mosaics above. The marbling is complete - using over 100 different types of marble - the decoration of the side chapels is largely finished, but if you look up in the main part of the building you are met with dark, gloomy brick. Despite this the building is extremely impressive, and very beautiful. The feeling in the Cathedral is that of a peaceful, prayerful, living church. Well worth a visit.
The Flemish painter Peter Rubens was invited to England with the offer of a knighthood and the Banqueting House ceiling was then painted in 1635.
This is the worlds only example of Rubens ceiling painting that remains in-situ.
St Nicholas's Parish Church in Nuneaton provides the sort of stately and attractive landmark architecture this town sorely needs, though it is sadly somewhat marginalised by the current road layout, which has left it separated from the town centre by part of the ring road.
Most of the present building dates from the fifteenth century, and is a grand example of a prosperous looking town church, with aisles to nave and chancel and an elegant nave clerestorey (inside spanned by the original gorgeous panelled ceiling).
The interior is elegant, attractive and very light, owing to whitewashed walls and a lack of stained glass (all the Victorian glass was destroyed by wartime bombing, except for one in the south chapel).
As in common with most churches in this part of Warwickshire, the church is generally kept locked outside of services.
