St. Joseph's R.C.

"St. Joseph's was designed by the same architect (J. S. Brocklesby) as Tunstall's Sacred Heart church. It was built 1925-7. The style is Romanesque/Italianate and the medium is almost exclusively brick. The two west towers; one square in plan and one smaller and round, reflect those of the Sacred Heart. St. Joseph's interior is basilican, with three bays to one super bay; beyond the flat ceiling is an aspe.

In his novels, Arnold Bennett based his "Church of the Genuflections" on St. Joseph's."
