The Church of the Good Shepherd is a Roman Catholic church in Woodthorpe, Nottinghamshire.[2] It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
History
The church was opened on 23 July 1964 and it celebrated its Golden Jubilee commemorating fifty years of service in 2014.[3] The architect was Gerard Goalen and the modern design won an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1966.[4] The dalle de verre stained glass is by Patrick Reyntiens.[5][1]
The Church is on the Historic England - Heritage at Risk Register, having been assessed as condition "Poor" and "Priority: A - Immediate risk of further rapid deterioration or loss of fabric".[6]
It had previously suffered with roof issues. In 2012, roof membrane and reinforcement works cost around £300,000 which primarily enabled the removal of damaging rainwater from the church's flat roof. The parish fundraised to cover the cost of repairs with around a third match funding allocated by English Heritage as a significant contribution towards the works.[7]
Organ
The church contains a pipe organ by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[8]
