Description:Interior view looking along the nave towards the chancel and altar. Designed by A.W.N. Pugin and built in 1846-48, St. Wilfrid’s Church was built as a Catholic chapel for Cotton College, linked to the main building by a single-storey passage. The chancel and vestry were extended in 1936-37 to designs by George Drysdale. The church remained open after the College closed in 1987, but a serious outbreak of dry rot led to the church’s closure and the last mass was held on 24 October 2010.
