dbp:text

"I was first asked to design a Catholic church in 1953 . Nearly nine years after receiving this first commission, I was asked to design another Catholic church, and since then I have received, at fairly regular intervals, commissions for Catholic, Anglican and Nonconformist churches." (en)
"For the church the architect, Mr. Gerard Goalen, has drawn up plans for a building with three naves, walls of coloured glass to give a warm internal radiance and a strictly liturgical layout." (en)
"The new Catholic parish at Cranford, Middlesex, has a less unconventional proposal: the church and the hall are to be united on Sundays by drawing back a folding partition. This does not sound very remarkable, but the detailed brief and its interpretation are interesting. For the common defects of such an arrangement will be overcome...At Cranford the building is designed as a trinity of spaces, a nave flanked by two very wide parallel "aisles" each of which has its own quite distinct and separate roof. One aisle will be partitioned off to become the hall on weekdays, but the geometry of the floor and roof has been contrived to make this aisle into a really independent room, not just a "slice".
