Our Lady of the Angels (R.C.), Hartshill Road
(nw). Part of a convent.
By Charles Hansom, 1857. Yellow brick and red
brick stripes. Gothic, in the style of 1300. The church is large,
and broadly, even rudely, treated. No tower. Attached to the E end
is the present Presbytery. This and half the frontage belong to
1857.
The size of the convent was increased and a new
chancel built by A. E. Purdie in 1884-5. The frontage as it
now is still represents Hansom's style. It is wholly informal.
