Description:Father Hymers took over at St Catherine's after the death of Father Fenn. This was not immediate as Dr. E. Berry succeeded Father Fenn first but left in February 1908 after only a few months. Apart from parochial matters Father Hymers resolved to build a tower and spire upon the church which had been part of the original plans of Father Fenn. This he did and he was there for the consecration of St Catherine's on 26th June 1918.
