SATELLITE VIEW
The satellite view shows us the Church placed on the corner where Wickham Terrace comes down to join Ann Street. We notice that the sanctuary points roughly in an easterly direction. On this site we shall use liturgical directions, taking the sanctuary in an (exact) Easterly direction (Capital E), and other directions accordingly.
The Church is rectangular in shape with an added smaller rectangle extending at the sanctuary end. There is a small Northern entry, and a small and largely decorative transept at the Eastern end.
In our investigation of this Church we shall begin at the Eastern corner of the property, approaching the Church and then walking around it in a clockwise direction. We then return to the West end and enter through the Southern door on that wall. I can find no plan for the Church, but this will cause no problems as the interior layout is very simple.
