| IN 1957 THE AREA TO THE WEST OF PYMBLE EXPERIENCED MAJOR POPULATION GROWTH WITH THE BUILDING OF WAR SERVICE HOMES. BECAUSE THE NEAREST CHURCH WAS AT PYMBLE, THE MANY CATHOLICS IN THE AREA FELT THEY NEEDED A CHURCH OF THEIR OWN. IN 1960 THEY HAD THEIR WISH AND THE NEW CHURCH WAS OFFICIALLY BLESSED ON 15 MAY THAT YEAR. IN 1962 WEST PYMBLE BECAME A PARISH IN ITS OWN RIGHT BUT WITH THE RETIREMENT OF THE FOUNDATION PARISH PRIEST, FR JONES, IT WAS ONCE AGAIN SERVED BY THE PRIEST AT PYMBLE. IN 2001 IT WAS FORMALLY TWINNED WITH THAT PARISH. NEXT |

| THE SIMPLE AND ATTRACTIVE LITTLE BRICK CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL SUCCOUR REFLECTS ITS PRE VATICAN II DESIGN. THE FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE CHURCH IS HIGHLIGHTED BY A DEEP SET PORCH AND WEST WINDOW. TWO CROSSES, A PLAIN LATIN CROSS ON THE WALL AND AN EPISCOPAL CROSS ON THE ROOF, PROCLAIM THE CHURCH'S CHRISTIAN ALLEGIANCE. NEXT |
| VIEWED FROM HEAD-ON THE ANGLED WINGS OF THE WEST WALL ARE CLEARLY EVIDENT. A SMALL CANOPY PROVIDES PROTECTION FROM THE WEATHER WHILE THE WEST WINDOW FILLS THE ENTIRE AREA BETWEEN DOOR AND ROOF. OVERALL AN ATTRACTIVE LITTLE CHURCH WHICH PROVIDES AMPLE TESTIMONY TO THE FAITH OF ITS PARISHIONERS. TOP HISTORIC CHURCHES |
