St Begh's Church, Whitehaven, Roman Catholic church in Corkickle, Whitehaven, England
The church building features white sandstone walls with red sandstone dressing, complemented by a lofty open timbered roof and octagonal columns supporting elegant arches.
The Benedictines from Douai, France, established a Catholic mission in 1706, leading to the construction of the current church between 1865 and 1868.
The chancel displays an elaborately carved altar, with stained glass windows depicting the Crucifixion and ecclesiastical symbols, plus mural figures of saints Begh and Gregory.
The church holds regular Sunday Masses at 4:45 PM on Saturdays and at 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM on Sundays, with additional weekday services.
The church stands as the first Roman Catholic establishment in Whitehaven following the Reformation, built at a cost of £6,000 on land donated by the Earl of Lonsdale.
