To give this church its full name it is the Roman Catholic Church of St Hugh of Lincoln. It opened in 1904 and replaced an earlier, temporary iron church which opened in 1898 on this site, at the end of Cranborne Road (just visible in the background, right), which is where the church entrance is sited.  The church was funded by William Nelson, a local magistrate, in memory of his brother, Hugh.

The church occupies a large site including gardens and administrative buildings.
