Brownie Echo is hidden near to St Paul's Church at Holme Eden, Warwick Bridge. The church was designed by John Dobson of Newcastle upon Tyne, a versatile architect, who was regarded as an ecclesiastical architect par excellence.
The exterior of the church is virtually unchanged from Dobson's original building. It is a very simple design in red sandstone with a slate roof, and consists of a nave, a small chancel with an apse at the east and, a spire 110 feet tall at the west end over the entrance porch, and a small vestry at the southeast corner. The building reflects John Dobson's concern that the design should be functional, with simple layout, with no pillars or other obstructions.
