Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Catherine%27s_Church,_Hoarwithy

"The Church of St Catherine is a Church of England parish church at Hoarwithy in the English county of Herefordshire. Alan Brooks and Nikolaus Pevsner, in the revised 2012 Herefordshire volume of the Pevsner Buildings of England series, describe it as "the most impressive Victorian church in the county.[1] Designed in an Italian Romanesque style by the architect John Pollard Seddon for the Revd William Poole, vicar of Hentland with Hoarwithy,[1] it is a Grade I listed building.[2].

The church has an "imposing campanile" of four storeys, with the ground floor surrounded by an open arcade.[1] The church is constructed from local Red sandstone, which encases the brick structure of 1840. A north porch is linked to the arcades of the campanile by a loggia.[2] Historic England describes the design of the church as "eclectic Rundbogenstil [with] Byzantine, French, Venetian, Lombardic, Tuscan and Sicilian Romanesque influences."[2] Simon Jenkins considers the church; "a complete work of revivalist art, rare for its date, an astonishing creation."[6]"
