Church of the English Martyrs

Roman Catholic Church built in 1968, the congregation previously having met in the 18th Century Jupp's Barn, visible on the far left of this photo. Although the exterior is unassuming, this is in total contrast to the interior - see TQ1002 : Ceiling, Church of the English Martyrs and TQ1002 : Ceiling, Church of the English Martyrs.

Two-thirds replica of the Sistine Chapel in Rome on the ceiling of the Church of the English Martyrs (see TQ1002 : Church of the English Martyrs), painted by parishioner Gary Bevans between 1987 and 1993. The "windows", which are vertical in the original, are here part of the curved ceiling (as can be seen in TQ1002 : Ceiling, Church of the English Martyrs) but have been painted with appropriate perspective to appear vertical from the side, as here.

Level crossing at Goring-by-Sea

A level crossing takes the West Coastway line across Goring Street at Goring-by-Sea. This road used to be part of the route of the A259 main road along the south coast. The A259 now crosses the railway slightly to the east, over a bridge, so that 'A' road traffic is no longer halted when trains are passing.
