St. Joseph's Church was founded in 1868 but the present building, seen above, wasn't built until 1915.  It was designed by the architectural practice of Lowther & Rigby.  Pevsner describes it as being of "Red brick with a striking NW tower, which has splayed angle buttresses,"  adding that it shows, "Free Style and Art Nouveau touches"
