St Mary of the Angels, Catholic church in Worthing, England
St Mary of the Angels is a Catholic church in Worthing with a distinctive red brick structure and French Gothic styling throughout. The building features a 76-foot bell tower topped with a miniature spire, accented by Portland stone bands running across its exterior.
The church was built in 1864 under architect Henry Clutton and became the first Catholic place of worship in Worthing following the Reformation. Later expansions between 1897 and 1907 by Frederick Walters added a baptistery and modified other interior spaces.
The church serves as an active center for the local Catholic community today, with regular services bringing people together for worship. Visitors can experience how it functions as a gathering place for the parish.
The building is located at the corner of Richmond Road and Crescent Road, near Park Crescent in the town center. Its distinctive red brick structure makes it easy to spot among the surrounding buildings.
The building holds Grade II listed status, which recognizes its architectural and historical importance within the town. This designation protects the structure and reflects its role as one of Worthing's significant religious buildings.
