Church Of St Hilda

The Church of St Hilda is a parish church built between 1889 and 1892 by architects Oliver and Leeson. It is constructed from snecked yellow sandstone with irregular sections of red sandstone, featuring a plinth and ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with flat stone gable copings. The church is designed in the Arts and Crafts Gothic style and includes a west tower, a four-bay nave with a south aisle, and a two-bay chancel with a north vestry and a stair tower that leads to an undercroft built into the hill.

The wide west tower has a pointed-arched, boarded double door set in an ornamental square surround, with a three-light mullioned and transomed traceried window above. The tower also features traceried paired belfry openings and a battlemented parapet, along with angle and diagonal buttresses. The nave has two-light windows, the chancel has three-light windows, and there is a five-light east window. The five-sided stair tower to the vestry has three cusped lancets on each plane, a traceried band, and a battlemented parapet.

Inside, the church has plaster wainscoting above sill level, rear arches to the windows, and a double-chamfered, pointed five-bay arcade leading to the nave and tower. The nave features a wagon roof, while the chancel roof is square-panelled with Tudor bosses.
