Bournemouth (Annunciation Church)
Annunciation Church (RC), Charminster Road, Bournemouth
Built 1905-6; designed by Giles Gilbert Scott and G. F. Bodley. Pevsner and Lloyd describe it as, "Brick, remarkably blocky. The wholly original central effect is the central tower, not really a tower, but a part of the building raised high up like the stage-house of a theatre. Very tall windows and a Cyclopean bellcote."
Pevsner, N. and Lloyd, D., The buildings of England: Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1967, p. 121.
