St Pancras Church, Ipswich

Saint Pancras is an active Roman Catholic parish church serving the town centre of Ipswich, England.

[4] The neo-Gothic church was built as part of the British Catholic revival in the nineteenth century, and was the target of anti-Catholic riots soon after completion.

[5] According to the church's website, Goldie may have intended St Pancras to develop into a larger structure, a cathedral for a future Catholic diocese of East Anglia.

St Pancras was consecrated by the Bishop of Northampton, Francis Amherst, with the future Cardinal Manning preaching the sermon.

[12] On Christmas Day 1985 the church was badly burned in an arson attack which meant that the choir loft and organ had to be rebuilt.

[1] St Pancras is a grade II listed building[3] built of red brick with a slate roof.

At the back of the choir loft there is a large modern, stained glass rose window in plate tracery style that depicts the descent of the Holy Spirit,[6][3] which was completed by the Ipswich artist Danielle Hopkinson for the Millennium.
