Holy Rood Church, Swindon, Catholic church in Central Swindon South, England
The Holy Rood Church features Gothic Revival architecture with rubble flint walls and Corsham stone decorations at the corner of Groundwell Road.
The church opened in 1905 under architect Edward Doran Webb's design, marking the first Roman Catholic church in Swindon since the Reformation period.
The 1970s reconstruction brought extensive glass work by Dom Charles Norris, integrating modern artistry within the traditional Gothic Revival structure.
The church holds five Sunday Mass services, including a Saturday evening service at 6:15 PM and four Sunday services throughout the day.
The building combines its original tower, transepts, and sanctuary with a reconstructed nave built on a north-south axis in 1970.
