From British Listed Buildings:
'The church was designed in 1954 by Francis Pollen who went on to design notable buildings at Worth Abbey and Downside Abbey. The church is in a very simple Mediterranean style since it was designed to be physically built by the nuns of the adjacent Carmelite convent (now a private house). It is built of rendered blockwork on a stone plinth with some stone details.'
'Inside the church, there are two inscriptions designed by the artist David Jones (1895-1974). Jones, a catholic convert, was a personal friend of the Pollen family, and came to specialise in inscriptions in the Welsh Language. At one end is a "chi rho", and at the other words from the Mass in Welsh and Latin designed in 1956, but only painted in 1988. Two small stained glass windows of the rising and setting sun are by Paul Quail. The relief of the Assumption of the Virgin is by Jane Quail, carved in 1988.'
'Church in simple Mediterranean style, rendered blockwork on a stone plinth with some stone details; slate roof. Gabled entrance has belcote, and deeply-set round-headed doorway above which is roundel with relief of Assumption. Sides elevations each with two windows of grey slate, two lights with circular light above. On L side, roofslope continues over a small chapel with small windows to sides. On R side, at right angles is the annexe (formerly the Nun''s choir) with 4 square windows and porch. The rear of the church is attached to the house by a C19 corridor with vestries etc.'
