St John the Baptist’s Church was the first Catholic Church in Brighton. The building of the church was funded by Maria Fitzherbert a wealthy widow from Shropshire who became the secret first wife of George, Prince of Wales who later became King George IV. The marriage was kept secret because at that time it was illegal for a Royal heir to marry a Catholic

Most casual visitors would not consider there is more to Brighton than the main seafront with its hotels and conference centre.
There is always something to see when you walk in a seaside town – I love the side of the building which is painted.
That building artwork is beautiful
