St Richard's Church in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, is an Art Deco Anglican structure of reinforced concrete and brick completed in 1942. Built to serve the rapidly expanding northern quarter of the town, it succeeded a temporary daughter church of St Wilfrid's and soon achieved parochial independence. The building's modern materials and streamlined aesthetic reflect the progressive architectural values of the 1930s–40s, while its Grade II listing recognizes both its architectural merit and historical significance as a response to local population growth.
