The nave roof is also a simple gable, but with a much more solid supporting structure. It is an example of a hammerbeam roof – a decorative, open timber roof truss typical of English Gothic architecture. The short beams projectng from the walls are called hammer beams and give this truss its name. INDEX
62. NAVE ROOF DETAIL
The hammer beams give rise to a high soaring roof space.
63. BALCONY VIEW OF WEST WINDOW
Finally we climb up the stairs to the balcony. From here we get a clear view of the West window with its memorials at the bottom: Luke, Esther and John Trainon; Rapphelo and Clementina Phuilla; and Lawrence, Mary and John Buckley.

And looking out from the balcony, we gain this fine view of the Church, along the length of the nave to the sanctuary. This completes our visit to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
