Description
The Church of St. Helen is a parish church located on a medieval site, built in 1742 with some 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of rubble with tooled dressings and features a slate roof. The church has a simple rectangular plan, with a 19th-century vestry added to the west end.
The south wall has five bays, including a flush-panelled door with a plain fanlight set in a chamfered round-headed arch, which has a moulded impost and a raised keystone in the second bay. The windows are of two lights with basket-arched heads. The gables are coped and have moulded kneelers. To the left, the lower vestry has a boarded door in a possibly re-set block surround and a coped gable with a corniced end stack. The west end features two single-light windows with basket arches, with the right window re-set in the projecting vestry. A bellcote with a cornice is positioned above a round-arched opening. The north wall contains three 19th-century windows, each with two cinquefoil-headed lights. The east end showcases a re-set medieval window with three stepped lancets under a chamfered pointed arch, along with a 19th-century foliate gable cross.
Inside, there is an 18th-century font with a moulded circular bowl and shaft. The church also features a pater board with a pointed head dated 1858, along with similar but undated boards for the creed and commandments.
