About White Abbey Church (The Carmelites)
White Abbey Church (The Carmelites) was built between 1884 and 1889 in the Gothic Revival style. It has a cruciform plan with a four-bay nave, built of squared limestone. Notable features include a four-stage tower with a broach spire, stained glass including a rose window, buttressed walls and lancet windows.
The building
Designed by William Hague, the church features broken coursed squared limestone walls with cut-granite dressings. The interior retains an apparently unaltered aspect, including timber pews and an exposed timber roof construction on cut-stone corbels. Carved Gothic-style furniture adorns the altar, while fixed-pane stained glass fills the window openings.
