The Church of St Mary and St Joseph is a 20th-century Roman Catholic parish church in Tower Hamlets, London, England.
History
The modern church was built in 1951-1954, as part of the Festival of Britain's Lansbury Estate Live Architecture Exhibition, and was consecrated by Cardinal Godfrey in October 1960.[1] It replaced an earlier church of the 1850s by William Wardell that was destroyed in the Second World War.[2][3]
Architecture
The building is listed Grade II.[4] Its architect was Adrian Gilbert Scott, who specialised in ecclesiastical buildings.
On a Greek Cross plan, it is built of steel girders and brick, with a reinforced concrete spire.[5] On the outside, the plan becomes a series of rectangular blocks.[6]
It is notable for its elongated and tapered round parabolic arches (described as 'camel vaulted' at the time of its listing).[7] Its mixed or transitional style combines Art Deco or Jazz Modern with elements suggesting Hispanic Moorish, ancient Persian or Egyptian.[8] Gavin Stamp's descriptive phrase 'Jazz Modern Byzantine' was used in the church's listing.[9]
The design has similarities to work by Giles Gilbert Scott[1] and to Adrian Gilbert Scott's own earlier St. James Anglican Church (Vancouver), and its parabolic arches informed his later work on St Leonard's Church, St Leonards-on-Sea.[10]
The interior contains stone reliefs of the Stations of the Cross by Peter Watts. The stained glass is by William Wilson of Edinburgh.[11]
