St Wilfrid's Church, Burgess Hill, Roman Catholic church in Burgess Hill, England
St Wilfrid's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Burgess Hill featuring traditional architectural elements and stained glass windows. These windows fill the interior with natural light and create the visual character of the building.
The church was established in 1940 and replaced a former Congregational chapel on Grove Road that previously served the Roman Catholic community. This move reflected the growth of Catholic worship in the town during the post-war period.
The church displays artistic works including Stations of the Cross by Frank Brangwyn and a statue of Saint Wilfrid carved by Joseph Cribb, which shape how the space looks today. These pieces reflect the craftsmanship and religious expression that define the interior.
The church holds regular services under the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton and supports various community programs throughout the year. Visitors can explore the space during opening hours and learn about the ongoing work of the parish.
A statue of Saint Wilfrid carved by Joseph Cribb, a student of Eric Gill, stands above the entrance as a distinguishing feature. This sculpture connects the local religious community to broader artistic movements of the period.
