St Mary's Church, Preston Park, Gothic Revival church in Preston Park, Brighton and Hove, England

The church structure features pointed arches, intricate stonework details, and large stained glass windows positioned along Surrenden Road at Preston Drove intersection.

The Sisters of Charity and Christian Instruction from Nevers initiated the church foundation in 1903, fleeing from French secularization to establish a religious presence.

The interior preserves an onyx font by J. Whitehead & Son with Westminster Cathedral columns and a high altar from Xaverian College installed in 1918.

The parish conducts three Sunday services and multiple weekday masses, with additional community activities hosted in the adjacent Cassidy Centre constructed in 2007.

Architect Percy Aiden Lamb incorporated Arts and Crafts elements into the Gothic Revival design, drawing from his experience working on Westminster Cathedral.
