Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, Grade II listed Catholic church in Torquay, England
The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady stands at the intersection of Abbey Road and Warren Road, featuring Gothic revival architecture with detailed stained glass windows.
The foundation stone was placed by Bishop George Errington of Plymouth in 1853, with construction completed in 1854 under architect Joseph Hansom's direction.
The church maintains regular Catholic services and functions as a central religious institution for the Torquay community within the Diocese of Plymouth.
Sunday masses occur at 6:00 PM on Saturdays and 10:30 AM on Sundays, with additional services held at the connected Holy Angels Church.
The land for this church came from the Cary family of Torre Abbey, establishing a connection between two significant religious structures in Torquay.
