Church of St Joseph and Presbytery Adjoining

The Church of St Joseph and the adjoining presbytery is a Roman Catholic parish church built in 1905 by Shibdon and Walker of Newcastle. The church features a rock-faced undercroft made of snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof with roll-moulded gable copings. It is designed in the Perpendicular style, with an aisled nave and short transepts that lead to canted-apsed side chapels of the chancel.

The six-bay nave has a north entrance located in the second bay from the west, featuring a four-centred-arched door set in a square surround with a triangular parapet. Each aisle bay contains two small cusped windows, while tall cusped clerestory windows are recessed under elliptical-headed arches. Above two three-light windows, there is a round west window. The two-bay chancel is adorned with tall cusped windows beneath an eaves dentil table, and it is flanked by tall gabled buttresses that support a large round east window above a central gabled buttress. The roof is topped with cross finials.

Inside, there are rear-arches to the clerestory windows and a high, pointed chancel arch. The crossing and chancel feature a wagon roof, while the nave has a plastered panelled ceiling. The altar and reredos are in the Gothic style, and there is a west organ loft.

The presbytery is a three-storey building with three bays by one, accompanied by a two-storey rear wing. It has a door located in a one-storey porch at the rear. The symmetrical street front displays two windows on the ground floor, three on the first floor, and four on the second floor, all of which are sash windows with upper glazing bars.
