St. Oswald’s

St. Oswald’s is a relatively modern building – dating from the late 1930’s which makes it unusual.

I found it locked which was a shame. On the same site is a large housing association complex. Was the church intended as a chapel for this? There is plenty going on here as the website also shows – http://www.stoswaldschurch.org.uk

Suburban churches such as this are often not open – I am not sure why this is. Whilst St. Oswald’s is not a historic building steeped with centuries of history it is still able to speak of a faith which welcomes people by being open. A locked church gives out a very poor message to the community around it. I rate this as very poor for this study.

If only…
