Roman Catholic Church of St Michael and All Angels, Woodchurch - Wirral
Modern church constructed in 1965 by RIBA Gold Medal winning architect Richard O’Mahony. Located on the axial road through the Woodchurch housing estate. The design is dominated by the tall tent-like metal clad roof which springs from the corners of the worship area and rises to 83 feet above the sanctuary floor. The 50 year old roof has now been partially replaced to alleviate the worst of the water ingress problems, with the support of a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant. A further phase of roof replacement is required.
