Benson Memorial Church, Catholic church building in Buntingford, Great Britain

The Benson Memorial Church features a Gothic style design with a 45-foot tower topped by a 35-foot copper spire added in 1939.

Built in 1914 by architect Arthur Young, the church opened in 1915 and received consecration in 1940 by Westminster auxiliary bishop Edward Myers.

The church houses a Lady chapel constructed in 1916 and commemorates Robert Hugh Benson, who laid the foundation stone before his death.

The church maintains a capacity of 160 people and shares its priest with neighboring Catholic churches in Puckeridge and Old Hall Green.

The structure received Grade II listed building status in 1984, preserving its architectural elements under the National Heritage List for England.
