Appraisal
The smooth-rendered exterior of St. Hugh's is enriched by decorative dressed stonework and colourful stained glass windows. These well-executed features are representative of architectural and artistic creativity. As a centre of religious worship, this nineteenth-century Roman Catholic church is socially important within the community.
