Sacred Heart Church, Caterham, Gothic Revival church in Caterham-on-the-Hill, England
Sacred Heart Church is a Gothic Revival church in Caterham-on-the-Hill with pointed arches, carved stonework, and a tall steeple built from traditional materials. The building displays hallmarks of early English Gothic Revival style and sits as a Grade II listed structure.
Architect Ingress Bell completed the structure in 1881, with Cardinal Manning, Archbishop of Westminster, celebrating its opening Mass. This event marked the church's establishment as a Catholic place of worship in the area.
Inside, murals by Joseph Aloysius Pippet tell stories from Jesus's life, and stained glass windows by Hardman & Co. fill the space with colored light.
The church holds multiple Sunday services and daily Masses for the local community in and around Caterham. Visitors can attend in person or join from elsewhere via livestream options.
The building received Grade II listed status in 1984, securing its protection as a heritage structure of regional importance. This designation ensures the preservation of its architectural character for future generations.
