St Catharine's Church (Wotton), Gloucester

Gloucester, St Catharine's Church (Wotton)


The third site for this parish church, this one being built 1912-5 by Walter B Wood. Here is yet another large suburban church, which tries hard but doesn't quite come off either. Wide nave, rather low, with large busy traceried windows, and the awkward base of a South West tower which hardly rose above aisle height. The east two bays of the aisles have transverse bays with large windows, more like double transepts. No chancel arch, two-bayed chancel, but an arch to the sanctuary.
