St Pancras Church (Ipswich)

The church of St. Pancras is a Roman Catholic parish church in the center of Ipswich.

The church was built by George Goldie and determined 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 interiors

St. Pancras is an outstanding example of the Gothic Revival from Victorian times. The pointed arches of nave and chancel are brick alternately in the so-called Venetian style of red and white bricks. In a column gallery with trefoil arches in the chancel above the altar are the larger than life figures of Jesus Christ and the four evangelists.

Equipped is the church with a two-manual organ from 1891, a neo-gothic, colorful framed stained glass windows and Stations of the Cross, also from the 19th century.
