Holy Name Church: Oxford Road, Manchester. Baptistry

The baptistery at the Holy Name Church, Manchester, was opened on Sunday. It has cost nearly £1,000. The baptistery is placed at the south‑west of the church, and is an octagonal building, about 50 feet high. Terra-cotta tracery has entered largely into its construction and design. It is highly decorated, and the whole treatment, both of the baptistery and the marble font, is on the lines and in harmony with the general style of the church.
