Berwick’s only Catholic Church is tucked away behind the houses fronting Ravensdowne. Opened in 1829, with later additions, come and see the building and admire its paintings and stained glass windows.
As the Catholic population of Berwick grew slowly throughout the 18th century, a building – now part of the St Aidan’s Hall complex – was purchased and opened as a chapel in 1799. The small community worshipped in this Church Street building until the Catholic Relief Acts.
The church has a series of 14 paintings depicting the story of Jesus’s Crucifixion, forming the Stations of the Cross. It also has a painting ‘The Agony of Our Lord in the Garden’ which has a very unusual history.
