| The main body of the church
consists of two rows of benches either side of the building with aisles
in the centre and next to the walls to the right and left. On either
side of the buidling the walls hold stations of the cross below large windows.
The Corinthian columns at
the front of the church mark out where the sanctuary once stood when the
church was first opened in 1828. This area is now left open and the
sanctuary is located further to the front of the church in what was originally
the presbytery.
Doors to the right and left
of the altar lead to the sacristy and baptistry respectively, but the latter
is no longer used. The font was replaced with a smaller "slimline"
version in 1990 but at Easter 2001 Fr Nunan introduced a larger font which
had been liberated from the old St Patrick's RC Church in Leeds.
The font stands in front of the entrance to the Sacristy to the front and
right of the building.
Above the doors on either
side of the Sanctuary stand the statues of St. Patrick and St. Joseph.
To the front of the church
and to the left is the Lady Chapel which contains a remarkable painting
dating from 1922 and restored in 1990.
