Description
The Church of St. Alban is a parish church built between 1841 and 1842 by Thomas Liddell, with additions made in 1888. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings, featuring a plinth and a roof made of Welsh slate with flat stone gable coping. The church includes a nave with a south porch, a north aisle, and a north porch leading to the chancel added in 1888.
On the south front, there is a trefoil window in the gable of the porch and a shouldered door with chamfered jambs. This is flanked by two pairs of lancet windows and supported by buttresses. The lower chancel, which is set back, has two lancet windows. There are string courses at the sills and at the heads of the coped buttresses, which clasp the nave and form an angle with the chancel.
The east front features three cusped lancets with a quatrefoil above and a sill string. The north side has five lancets and a central buttress. The west front includes three lancets with a sill string and a slit window at the peak of the gable, topped by a bellcote that is corbelled out. The church is adorned with cross finials.
