About The Annunciation
The Annunciation is a Roman Catholic church, Dorset. It is part of the Diocese of Portsmouth.
History
The church was built in 1905-6 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, his first executed church. In 1965, the Lady Chapel was added and the west end of the nave extended by one bay.
Architecture and furnishings
The church is in Geometrical Gothic style, red brick with stone bands and dressings, thin bricks arranged in 5 courses of stretchers to 2 of headers. The nave interior is single-storey with 3-bay arcades framing arched recesses instead of aisles, narrow passages penetrating the piers, simple chamfers, no capitals. The chancel has a triforium gallery with elegantly moulded pair of arches on each side, and a decorative wrought-iron balcony connecting them above the altar. The original High Altar is very shallow, on brackets and central colonette, with a recent altar freestanding in front. The altar rail is of striped slate-grey and white stone on curved steps. There is a modern west gallery with a toplit baptistery further west.
