Former Church Of St Jude, Shieldfield

The former Church of St. Jude in Shieldfield, built in 1891 by A. B. Plummer, is now a workshop. It features dark red brick with red sandstone ashlar dressings and a plinth, topped with a graduated Lakeland slate roof. The building is designed in a Romanesque style, comprising an aisled nave and chancel, an east apse, and a south-east chapel with an apse.

Notable architectural details include a triple-moulded surround to a round-headed boarded double door in the north aisle, flanked by gablets and featuring scrolled hinges. The round-headed windows are framed with stone surrounds under roll-moulded brick arches, set within panels formed by the plinth, pilasters, and a Lombard frieze of moulded brick. The clerestory lunettes exhibit varied glazing patterns. The apse has five high panels topped with five smaller panels, with the three central main panels containing small round-headed windows that have block-stopped drip moulds. The upper panels showcase basket brickwork, and each panel is topped with a Lombard frieze and a dentilled cornice. The south-east chapel has similar windows, while the north door is blocked, and the west front is blank. The roof is steeply pitched and curves over the apse, with a gabled wood bellcote positioned in the clerestory above the south door.

Inside, the church features brick with white stone ashlar dressings, a tongue-and-groove boarded dado, and a panelled ceiling. There is a stone sill band and frieze, with flat pilaster bay divisions and a brick entablature of quasi triglyphs and dentils that runs continuously across the apses at both ends. The top cornice is also dentilled. The interior includes five-bay round arcades with modified Corinthian capitals, and the apse has top lunettes with basket brickwork. A war memorial commemorating the parish's dead from the First World War is located in the west apse, consisting of a marble slab on a black mount.
