St Margaret Clitherow's Church is a Catholic parish church in Haxby, a town north of York in England.

Catholics in Haxby long worshipped at St Wilfrid's Church, York, then in 1970 mass was first said in Haxby's Memorial Hall. In 1971, this moved to Wigginton Hall, and then in 1975 to St Mary's Church, Haxby, the local Anglican church. In 1977, the parish of Haxby and Wigginton was established, and Church Farm House was purchased to serve as a daily mass centre. A building with a capacity of 250 worshippers was designed by John Black and completed in 1985. It was constructed by William Birch & Sons at a cost of £300,000. The church was consecrated on 13 March 1999. [1] [2] [3]

The church is broadly modern in style, clad in stone but with brick walls internally. The front is asymmetrical, the peak of the roof supported by a partially detached pier, with its own roof and two gablets. To its right is the main entrance under a porch with a shallow roof, and a window with four lights. The interior is a single space, but the altar and sanctuary are raised up two steps. Stained glass in the window depicts Saint Margaret Clitherow, Saint Wilfrid and Saint Hilda, designed by Harry Harvey. [1] At the east end are six windows with stained glass by Graeme Willson. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">St Wilfrid's Church, Hailsham</span> Church in East Sussex, England

St Wilfrid's Church is a Roman Catholic church serving the town of Hailsham in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England. The present building was completed in 2015 and is the third church to serve the town; it stands between its predecessors, a small hall opened in 1922 and a larger church of 1955, on a site which had belonged to a Catholic family since the 19th century. The Hailsham area was historically supportive of Protestant Nonconformist beliefs and had few Catholics, and for many years worshippers had to attend Mass in basic premises: rooms in private houses and, from 1917, a subdivided loft in the stables of a brewery. Numbers grew rapidly after the first permanent church opened, and after six decades of being served from Our Lady of Ransom Church, Eastbourne, Hailsham became an independent parish in 1957. The town's rapid postwar growth and an increasing Catholic population prompted the construction of the larger new church.
