St Gregory's Church was begun in 1854 and designed by the well-known architect, Charles Hanson. It took 23 years to complete, not being consecrated until 1877. Highlights include John Hardman's magnificent stained glass, a finely carved reredos behind the high altar and Stations of the Cross around the walls. Look out for an impressive statue of Our Lady, which was carved in Munich. The church was built on the site of a small chapel dating from 1809.
