About St Saviour Church
St Saviour Church is a Roman Catholic church in Broadway, Worcestershire. It is part of the Archdiocese of Birmingham.
History
In 1850 the site was purchased by Passionists from Woodchester Park, who established a religious community and novitiate. The chapel was extended with a new bay and entrance front in neo-Norman style, a bellcote was added, the interior was updated, and it was re-dedicated to St Saviour. New panelling and flooring were introduced in the 1930s, and the murals were painted over. The chapel was redecorated in 1984 and the sanctuary reordered in 1988. In 2000 the parish was handed back from the Passionists to the Benedictines, and thence to the Archdiocese of Birmingham. In 1908 a retreat house was constructed at right angles to the chapel, designed by Curran and Sons of Warrington, replacing the former Benedictine monastic building.
Architecture and furnishings
This church began as a Benedictine monastery chapel built in 1828-9, was extended and altered around 1850 possibly by Charles Hansom, and became a parish church in 2000. The church is built of local Cotswold limestone under a slate roof, with a simple rectangular plan orientated east-west and a small chapel projecting on the south side.
Music and liturgy
The large stone and marble altar dates from 1900. The sanctuary panelling and stalls were added in the 1930s when the painted decorative scheme was replaced. Figures in the church were made by Hardman and Co around 1850.
Parish life
The Passionist mission at Broadway lasted 150 years until 2000, when the Passionists relinquished the parish to the Archdiocese of Birmingham. Many Passionists are buried in Most Holy Saviour's Churchyard. The church interior remains the same as it was during the Passionist period. A history of the church, written in 2000 to mark the Passionists' departure, is available.
Visiting
The church, as a single space with no division to the sanctuary, is plain plastered with a string course under the window cills. The windows are in deep, splayed reveals, and have plain glazing. The floor is parquet, and a continuous, flat panelled timber ceiling extends through the whole space. The side chapel, with a segmental-arch opening with a roll moulding, has a moulded cornice and coloured glass. The carved stone and marble altar has a Pietà reredos.
