St Cuthbert's Church, Colburn

The church, in 2018

St Cuthbert's Church is an Anglican church in Colburn, North Yorkshire, a town in England.

Colburn is an ancient settlement, but its only place of worship in the Mediaeval period was the private chapel at Colburn Hall.[1] The village expanded rapidly after World War II, and in 1957, a church was constructed, to a design by Albert Richardson.[2][3]

The church is a low brick building.[3] The interior is designed to be reminiscent of the hull of an upturned boat.[4] The east end is dominated by a massive applique tapestry, designed by David Holt, depicting Christ in Glory.[5]
