A typical Roman Catholic parish church built in Britain in the mid-1970s looked radically different from any church buildings which had been built twenty years earlier. The two decades between 1955 and 1975 witnessed substantial changes within the Roman Catholic Church in the fields of theology and liturgy, with decisive effects on church architecture. It was also a period of transition in architecture more generally, from traditional and historical styles to modern design, a shift which profoundly affected the appearances of church buildings, even those by architecture firms which continued to operate throughout the period. This was also a period of massive urban transformations, as housing estates and New Towns were built to accommodate people moved out of city centres and into new communities. To follow these population movements the Roman Catholic Church undertook a vast building campaign of new churches, often seen as hubs of community and expressions of identity. This project aims to examine all these factors by looking in detail at a selection of the many churches of the period. Of the hundreds built, few were published in any significant way at the time, and even fewer have been published since, so there is a current lack of available knowledge of this body of architecture. Many churches are architecturally innovative and historically interesting, but in danger of being demolished or altered as ideas about church architecture and the liturgy change again. This project will therefore raise awareness of this rich architectural and religious heritage, while analysing and interpreting the buildings according to their historical context.The research involves surveys of selected case study buildings, predominantly in the centres and suburbs of major cities in England, Scotland and Wales. Historical investigation using periodicals and archives will aim to discover more about the architectural, institutional and social frameworks within which churches were produced. A research assistant will create survey drawings of some of the most significant buildings for publication, and collect other illustrative material. The principal investigator will write a book which deals with the subject thematically, drawing on a wide range of buildings, but studying the smaller number of selected case studies in greater depth. The book will be well illustrated to ensure that it can be used as a source of information by people in different academic and non-academic areas. Some of the images will also be included in a professionally-designed exhibition intended to take the research to the various communities in architecture and the Church who share an interest in this history. Articles in non-academic journals, including architecture and church magazines, will also be written to disseminate the research as widely as possible.

一座 20 世纪 70 年代中期在英国建造的典型罗马天主教教区教堂看起来与 20 年前建造的任何教堂建筑截然不同。 1955年至1975年的二十年里，罗马天主教会在神学和礼仪领域发生了巨大的变化，对教堂建筑产生了决定性的影响。这也是建筑从传统和历史风格到现代设计的过渡时期，这一转变深刻地影响了教堂建筑的外观，甚至影响了整个时期继续运营的建筑公司的建筑外观。这也是大规模城市转型的时期，住宅区和新城镇的建设是为了容纳从市中心迁入新社区的人们。为了跟随这些人口流动，罗马天主教会开展了大规模的新教堂建设活动，这些教堂通常被视为社区和身份表达的中心。该项目旨在通过详细研究该时期许多教堂的选择来研究所有这些因素。在建造的数百座建筑中，很少有在当时以任何重要方式出版的，而且此后出版的就更少了，因此目前缺乏关于这一建筑体系的可用知识。许多教堂在建筑上具有创新性并且具有历史意义，但随着教堂建筑和礼拜仪式的观念再次发生变化，它们面临着被拆除或改变的危险。因此，该项目将提高人们对这一丰富的建筑和宗教遗产的认识，同时根据其历史背景对这些建筑进行分析和解释。该研究涉及对选定的案例研究建筑进行调查，这些建筑主要位于英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士主要城市的中心和郊区。利用期刊和档案进行历史调查的目的是更多地了解教堂产生的建筑、制度和社会框架。研究助理将为一些最重要的建筑物绘制测量图以供出版，并收集其他说明材料。首席研究员将写一本主题性地讨论该主题的书，借鉴各种建筑物，但更深入地研究少量选定的案例研究。本书将配有精美插图，以确保不同学术和非学术领域的人们可以将其用作信息来源。一些图像还将包含在一个专业设计的展览中，旨在将研究成果带到对这段历史感兴趣的建筑界和教会的各个社区。非学术期刊（包括建筑和教堂杂志）上的文章也将被撰写，以尽可能广泛地传播研究成果。
