Our Lady Star of the Sea and St. Peter

Heritage Open Day: With the sea in mind, the name of the church was chosen, Our Lady Star of the Sea and St Peter, the patron saint of fishermen. After the Reformation, Bridlington’s first Catholic Church, St William’s, built in 1886, proved too small for a growing congregation. Rev James Clancy DD, arrived in the Parish in 1893, purchasing land in Victoria Road for a Church and Presbytery.
Smith, Brodrick and Lowther of Hull designed the Church in an early style of Gothic architecture, at a cost of £1870.

The Foundation stone was laid on 19th August 1893 by Bishop Lacy of Middlesbrough. The west front is the prominent feature, built in thin red brick and stone dressing. The massive buttresses terminate in a lofty pinnacle of stone. A finely worked cross is fixed on the Apex.
