St Charles Borromeo Catholic Church
Jarratt Street, Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, HU1 3HB
Designed by local architect John Earle, Grade I listed St Charles is inspired by the Italian Baroque and Austrian Rococo styles. Its features include carved marble, ornate plaster-work and a vast painting of the Last Judgement above its high altar. The foundation stone was laid in 1828 and the sumptuous designs we see today are the result of redesigns in 1894. Restoration work continues to this day. The ‘mother church’ for Catholics, St Charles is a hidden gem in the heart of Hull.
