Saint Joseph's Catholic Church

The RC Church of St Joseph in Pickering is a listed building (grade II) by renowned architect Leonard Stokes (1858-1925). It was built in 1911, and at the time he was president of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He was known as 'the architect in a dressing gown' - his work attire, and he designed many RC buildings, but also did country houses and ...telephone exchanges (about 20 of them). Inside St Joseph's is a font by Eric Gill. Unfortunately the church is not open to the public daily (otherwise I would have given it 5*).

We are visitors to St Joseph's twice a year whilst on holiday in the area, we are always given a warm welcome by the Priest and congregation and feel part of the parish

Great historical church in Pickering, just right for our Granddaughter's Christening today.

Nice Catholic Church, everyone made very welcome.

Congregation - very devotional
