The church

St Mary's Co-Cathedral is a Gothic brick church with a distinctive, massive tower block on its west end. The interior holds valuable works of sacred art; the church was carefully rebuilt after the heavy destruction of the fighting for the town in 1945.

Worth knowing

  • A working church — visits outside services, in suitable dress
  • Location — the town centre, close to the town hall and the promenade
  • Combining — with a route through the town towards the beach and the pier
