St Mary of Angles is a Catholic church located on Bolcott Street Wellington. This 1920 church is the first occasion of the ferro-concrete used for a church of gothic design. The building is designed under the Gothic of French influence. Windows are abundant in the church with windows lining the head, foot and sides of the nave, aisles and transepts. To compare this building with Old Saint Pauls and St Peters is quite interesting as the high pitched Ceilings (due to the concrete structure) allow for a flood of light into the nave compared to the more intimate lighting seen in the other churches.
