St Wilfrid's Church, Brighton, Grade II listed church in Elm Grove, Brighton, England.

The brick church combines traditional Gothic elements with modern design features, including a distinctive tower with a saddleback roof and narrow aisles.

Architect Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel designed the church in the 1930s to replace a temporary tin structure that served the growing Elm Grove community.

Sir John Betjeman recognized the church as an exemplar of 1930s ecclesiastical architecture, highlighting its significance in British architectural development.

The discovery of blue asbestos in 1980 led to the building's transformation into residential flats while maintaining its protected exterior structure.

Hans Feibusch created a large mural inside the church between 1940 and 1941, adding artistic value to its architectural merit.

Location: Brighton and Hove

Architects: Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel
