About St. Joseph

St. Joseph is a Roman Catholic church in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. It is part of the Archdiocese of Westminster.

Introduction

St Joseph's, Bedwell is a modern church of the 1950s, built to serve one of the neighbourhoods of the New Town. The only feature which remains unaltered is the brick bell tower.

Architecture and furnishings

In the 1980s, the church was drastically remodelled, from designs said to be by Williams & Winkley but carried out by voluntary parish labour. The orientation was turned round, so that the altar was placed at the west end. The height of the building was reduced, and the previously mainly glazed west front and former baptistery were clad with tiles.
