About
St Columba's Church of Ireland is a solid example of a Gothic Revival church. It is a large building, yet manages to assimilate into its suburban setting along the King's Road, positively contributing to the King's Road Conservation Area.
Most of the church structure was completed in 1896, a time of unprecedented ecclesiastical building throughout the British Isles, with late gothic being the standard style. St Columba’s is considered a fine example of Edwardian gothic with inventive use of detail, both based on Christian heritage and details taken from the natural world. There is a clear arts and craft inspiration for items of external carved stone and internal joinery. The church consists of a central four-bay nave with clerestory windows above the side aisles. North and south single bay transepts, single bay deep chancel, single bay vestibule, vestry and a truncated single-stage towering choir vestry, with a link corridor, complete the overall form. A fine pipe organ was built and installed in 1902 by Norman and Beard of Norwich.
