St Mary of the Angels Church, Brownshill

St Mary's is constructed in limestone rubble and ashlar, with Cotswold stone slate roofs, and a timber-shingled bellcote. Its architectural style is Romanesque, although Verey and Brooks detect "a hint of Baroque" at the church's western end.[3] It is rectangular in plan, with an apsidal sanctuary. On the north side is a vestry with a confessional, and a porch in the angle between the vestry and the church. The west end is topped by a truncated round arch, and it contains a doorway with a round arch, above which is a rectangular window. Along the south side of the church are five bays, each containing a narrow round-headed window, and a door towards the east end. The north side has similar windows, a door towards the west, and the porch and vestry. At the east end is a full gable.[2] A planned house for the resident priest, which was to stand adjacent to the church, was not built.[3]

The interior of the church is simple. At the west end is a gallery, its panels decorated with diamond-shaped carving. The nave is floored with parquet, and with terracotta tiles. Between the nave and the sanctuary is a large Norman-type arch, decorated with Romanesque chevrons. In the sanctuary is a stone altar table. Three of the windows contain stained glass depicting the founders of the community and a benefactor. Their design is attributed to Douglas Strachan.[3] Under the central window is a panel containing gold mosaic. Between the doors leading to the vestry and the confessional is a niche. The fittings to the doors are in Arts and Crafts style. Adjacent to each entrance door is a holy water stoup.[2]
