Description
The Church of Holy Saviour is a Church of England chapel of ease built in 1868, as indicated on the vestry, and was a gift from Miss Jane Anne Bates of Milbourne Hall. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a Lakeland slate roof, primarily designed in the Geometric style. The church includes a porch-tower with a spire, a nave, a chancel, and a vestry.
The porch-tower has a pointed-arched doorway topped with a gablet and a niche containing a seated Christ. Above this is a clock stage and a second-floor bell stage, which features 2-light bell openings adorned with waterleaf capitals and a pierced quatrefoil above, all framed by dogtooth detailing. The tower culminates in a broach spire, and on its west side, there is a two-storey round stair turret with pierced quatrefoils and a conical stone roof.
The nave consists of three bays with cusped lancets and a string course that rises over the windows and continues to the chancel, where it drops to form a sill string. The two-bay chancel contains one 2-light Geometric window and one cusped lancet, flanked by two large offset buttresses and featuring a three-light Geometric window on the east side. A lean-to vestry on the north side has a datestone and the initials of the donor, as well as a tall corniced chimney.
The gabled roof is finished with flat coping and foliate cross finials. Inside, the church boasts panelled wood ceilings and a good selection of contemporary Gothic wood furnishings, including a lectern, pulpit, and choir stalls. There are brass and wrought-iron altar rails, and the reredos is a stone replica of The Last Supper. Tall twisted lamp standards, which were once used for gas, are attached to the pew ends, and there is a round font with a crocketed base.
