Church of Our Lady
Church of Our Lady, Valley Road, Lillington, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV32 7SJ
Our Lady's Church is a beautiful Grade II listed building in the heart of Warwickshire. It is a hidden gem with simply stunning stained glass designed and executed by Fr Dom Charles Norris OSB and a team of Benedictine monks. The magnificently modern Church was created during the 1960s in response to liturgical changes from the Second Vatican Council. This is reflected in the interior with a highly modernist aesthetic, with a central plan and raised sanctuary.
The Clerestory and Ground-Floor Chapels are brilliantly embellished with a stunning expanse of brightly coloured abstract and figurative 'dalle-de-verre' - ‘flagstones of glass'. The wonderful windows form part of the worship, with a connection between depiction and devotion throughout the Church. The main themes of Our Lady’s Church are the movement of the Spirit, Creation, and God’s presence across the whole of sacred history. The glass is based upon passages in the Bible which are boldly expressed through a rich tapestry of vibrant colour.
