Five Precious Wounds is a brutalist-style church in red brick designed by John Newton of Burles, Newton and Partners. The church building features long windows strips with stained glass, with a presbytery and church hall included as part of the complex. A more traditional style church can be found at the Church of the Ascension, Wembley. It was the last church designed by Harold Gibbons and the outside is in Gibbons’ favoured Gothic Revival in stock brick. Inside, the whitewashed walls allow the altar mural by Hans Feibusch and stained glass work by W. T. Carter Shapland, among others, to shine.
