Our Lady of the Angels and St Peter in Chains Church, Stoke-on-Trent
Our Lady of the Angels and St Peter in Chains Church, Stoke-on-Trent, Gothic Revival parish church in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Our Lady of the Angels and St Peter in Chains Church is a parish church built in the Gothic Revival style with pointed arches and large stained glass windows. The stone building features a tall tower and interior spaces designed for worship and gatherings.
The site began as a Catholic mission starting in 1838, and Charles Hansom designed the building in 1857 to meet the growing needs of the community. The construction marked an important moment in the development of Catholic worship in the region.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local Catholic community, hosting celebrations and events throughout the year that bring neighbors together. It maintains strong connections with nearby schools and functions as a community meeting point for families and shared activities.
The church is typically accessible during worship services held several times per week, giving visitors good opportunities to enter and explore the interior. Its location in the town center makes it easy to reach on foot.
The building is connected to an adjoining priory where Dominican nuns originally ran a girls school and a home for people with chronic illnesses. This connection reveals the broader social role the religious community played beyond just worship.
