 The interior of the Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Cross, Plymouth

This building of stone in the Gothic style was erected in 1854 at Teignmouth, Devon, to the designs of Mr C Hansom.  When in 1881-82 a tunnel was opened out near the railway station, the building was moved stone by stone to this site in Plymouth and re-erected.  It was opened on December 20th 1881.

In 1888-89 the nave was extended and in 1907 the chancel and aisles were added by Messrs Scoles & Raymond.
