Inside St Patrick's a five storey high space features chancel walls with floor to ceiling paintings by the famous Victorian decorators Clayton and Bell, a pulpit designed by Gilbert Scott and stained glass windows by Gibbs and William Butterfield. A major re-ordering, which received a Sussex Heritage Award, has transformed this Grade 2 listed city-centre church into a 40 bed hostel and night shelter for the homeless, and re-ordered church. The centre was opened by the Queen in 2001 and was also featured in the BBC TV Series 'Father Sharpe's Ark'.
