St Brendan’s Roman Catholic church is a fine example of post Vatican II church design in the latter part of the twentieth century. The constructional possibilities of new materials and engineering advances were embraced to create light filled places of worship. The handsome mosaic adds artistic interest. Set within its own grounds, the church occupies an elevated site and is a landmark in the surrounding area.
