Church Overview

Designed by renowned London architect Peter Paul Pugin in early decorated Gothic style, St Patrick’s opened for worship in 1898. One of the most striking of the many features within the church is the high altar of white marble, supported on six columns of Connemara marble with floreated capitals. The throne is surmounted by a magnificent cupola of Caen stone. Richly decorated altar and reredos and magnificent great east window designed by the firm of John Hardman of Birmingham.

Current JW Walker organ incorporates some of the original Henry Willis organ pipework after the latter was removed in 2008. Urban clearances in the 1960s to make way for a new motorway, that now passes within a few feet of the building, resulted in St Patrick’s being one of the few 19th century buildings remaining in Anderston.
