Church of St Cuthbert

The Church of St Cuthbert is a parish church dating to 1834-40, designed by Thomas Jackson, who died in 1840 and was succeeded by his son, George. A consecration stone dated 1841 is set in the boiler-house lintel. The chancel was rebuilt in 1889-91 by Hicks and Charlewood, and a one-bay west extension to the nave was likely added in 1917 by Caröe.

The church is constructed of coursed squared limestone, with a rubble east nave wall, and sandstone ashlar dressings. Additional elements and alterations are of coursed squared limestone with similar plinth and dressings. The roof is covered in Welsh slate with stone gable copings. The church comprises a nave with a south porch, a chancel, and a north vestry.

The gabled porch has double-boarded doors set within a two-centred-arched surround, flanked by buttresses. The three-bay nave features paired lancet windows, separated by tall, shallow buttresses that extend to a corbel table. The three-bay chancel also has lancet windows, with clasping buttresses at the corners. Sill strings are stepped to match the triple-stepped east lancets and continue around the buttresses. A small west chamber has a stepped parapet over a shouldered south door and three rectangular windows. A basement door to the boiler room incorporates the re-used consecration stone. The roof has a gabled west bellcote with a fleur-de-lys finial, and cross finials to the nave and chancel. Stepped kneelers are present on the steeply-pitched chancel roof.

The interior features painted plaster with a crenellated dado and ashlar dressings. A carved wood frieze adorns the roof, with a king-post on collar, and two strutted braces connecting the wall to the rafter and the rafter to the collar. The chancel roof is panelled. A large double-chamfered chancel arch and organ arch are also present. A brass panel in the chancel commemorates the insertion of two windows in the nave and the marbling of the chancel floor in 1926; the floor is now boarded over.

Monuments include a marble slab in the nave dedicated to the first rector, R.B.C. Blenkinsopp, signed W.T. Hale, of 448 Edgware Road, London W. A font from the early 20th century has a round stone bowl with incised lettering and is of high quality. The vestry holds a carved wood font cover dated 1896 and a painted panel detailing the church's construction in 1839 and the provision of seating.
