Description
The Church of St Cuthbert, built in 1848 by John Dobson, features a wide north aisle added in 1875. It is constructed from coursed stone with ashlar dressings and has a high-pitched Welsh slate roof, designed in a simple Romanesque style. The building showcases a prominent eaves corbel table and a 5-bay nave that is divided by flat buttresses. There are single round-headed windows set in deep recesses. The short, low apsidal chancel includes small cross-gabled aisles, with the southern aisle displaying chevron moulding on its window and a small turret at the peak. The south-west tower, which has two stages, contains a porch with a chamfered and moulded doorway, featuring two orders of nook-shafts. The tower is topped with a stone broach spire that has lucarnes. Additionally, there is a small west vestry extension.
Inside, the church features round arcade piers and simple double-chamfered arches. A west gallery supported by wooden columns is present, along with an arch-braced timber roof resting on stone corbels. The chancel is rib-vaulted and has a chevron moulded arch. Notable stained glass windows are included, created by Wailes and Thompson.
