Description:The blessing of the new Catholic Church of St Catherine of Siena, Lee Bank, would have taken place in 1965. The new church, designed by Harrison & Cox, was built in 1964/5 on the corner of Bristol Street and Irving Street, close to the site of the original 1875 church. As was quite often the case with Catholic churches at this time, the design was innovative and non-traditional, having a circular plan.
