Sacred Heart Church, Middlesbrough, Roman Catholic church in Middlesbrough, England.
Sacred Heart Church sits on Linthorpe Road and displays Romanesque Revival architecture with rounded arches and strong structural elements throughout its exterior. The building presents a solid, enduring presence with its characteristic architectural features.
The building opened in 1932 after Belgian architect Jules Coomans designed it, drawing ideas from St. Andrew's Abbey in Bruges. Its construction carried personal and spiritual meaning tied to the local community.
The interior features stained glass windows designed by Dublin's Harry Clarke studio in 1953 and mosaics by Ludwig Oppenheimer from Manchester. These artistic works shape how the space feels when you walk through it.
Access to the church is straightforward and welcoming to visitors outside of service times. The interior can be explored easily on foot, and there is space to move around and take in the architectural and artistic details.
A councillor named Frank Finn funded the construction as a memorial to his brother, who served as a chaplain during the First World War. This personal story links the building to local family history and the war.
