St Pancras Church (Ipswich)
The Church of St. Pankratius is a Roman Catholic parish church in the center of Ipswich .
The church was built by George Goldie and intended as the Catholic cathedral for Eastern England . Two years after the church was consecrated, in 1863, St Pancras was the target of an anti-Catholic uprising.
Architecture and interior design
St. Pancras is a prime example of Gothic Revival from Victorian times . The pointed arches of the nave and presbytery are alternately built in the so-called Venetian style from red and white bricks. The larger-than-life figures of Jesus Christ and the four evangelists stand in a columned gallery with three-pass arches in the choir above the altar.
The church is equipped with a two-manual organ from 1891, a neo-Gothic, colored way of the cross and colored glass windows, also from the 19th century.
