Saint
Matthew’s
is
a
grade
II*
listed
building.
It
was
designed
by
Robert
Johnson
and
built
over
fifteen
years
from
1880.
It
is
considered
by
many
one
to
be
of
the
finest
Victorian
buildings
in
the
Northeast.
It
contains
a
goodly
quantity
of
Kempe
glass,
but
its
greatest
glory
is
the
building
itself.
If
you
are
coming
to
pray,
the
Sacrament
is
reserved
(should
you
wish
to
be
close)
in
the
chapel
directly in front of the West door.
If you are looking around, please be sensitive to the needs of any who might be praying.
The building is also open for Mass every day; times can be found on the Liturgy page.
Please
note
that
there
is
usually
a
Mass
at
some
point
during
the
day:
details
can
be
found
on
the
Liturgy
page,
