Douai Abbey church

            This is the Church of Douai Abbey – a community of English Benedictine monks in Upper Woolhampton, Berkshire. 

Construction of this fine church began in 1929, but money ran out and it wasn’t completed until 64 years later. The original architect was Arnold Crush, and in 1989 Michael Blee was commissioned to complete the building. Work finished in 1993, and this is the glorious result.
