A church located in the Midlands in England has been considered to be so ugly by the locals, that it hasn't held a wedding ceremony in years.

It has even been described as the "architectural kiss of death" by its own vicar.

According to the Rev Patrick Okechi, 42, the 1960s post-modern design was so unattractive that couples felt it would ruin their wedding photographs.

Okechi tells The Daily Telegraph: "I guess I have to accept reality and I really don't want to ruin someone's special day, but it would be nice if just one couple decided to have their wedding here.

"I think it's a wonderful church.

"I admit the outside is not that beautiful and it's not in the greatest of locations, but the inside is lovely."
