Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church
Heritage Open Day: Designed in the early English Saxon style and faced in flint, the church was consecrated by the Catholic Bishop of Southwark on 8 October 1913. The Church was funded by Mr George Pauling, a railway engineer, who made his fortune in South Africa and who lived at The Lodge, Lower Road. His grave, along with several other family graves, can be found in the Church’s cemetery, along with a Pietà , which was carved in Carrara marble, as used by Michelangelo, as a memorial to him.
