Catholic Church of St Mary and St John
Catholic Church of St Mary and St John, Gothic Revival parish church in City of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
The Catholic Church of St Mary and St John is a Gothic Revival building in Wolverhampton with soaring pointed arches, vertical lines that draw the eye upward, and intricate carved stonework throughout. The structure exhibits the typical features of 19th-century Catholic ecclesiastical design.
The church was originally built in 1855 and later redesigned by architect Charles Hansom, who completed major work in 1880. It came under the care of the Pauline Fathers from 2002 onward.
The church serves the Polish Catholic community, with Sunday services held in Polish and English, reflecting decades of connection to local Polish families. These gatherings bring together people who share traditions and language in this shared space.
The church is accessible to visitors with mobility needs and has restroom facilities available on site. A hearing loop system helps those with hearing difficulties follow services.
The windows on the east end were crafted by Hardman & Co, a notable Victorian glassmaker, adding fine craftsmanship to the interior. These artisan glass panels are details that visitors often pass by without noticing.
