Church Of St Matthew

The Church of St Matthew is a parish church built around 1870. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone, featuring an ashlar plinth and dressings, and has a graduated Lakeland slate roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles and stone gable copings. The church consists of a nave and a south porch, along with a chancel and another south porch.

Notable architectural features include paired nook shafts leading to a boarded door in the steeply-gabled nave porch, and massive west buttresses with off-sets that support a gabled bellcote. The west façade has a 2-light window recessed under a chamfered arch that springs from these buttresses. The nave has three bays with 2-light windows, while the chancel features cusped lancets and a 3-light east window positioned above a buttress. Diagonal buttresses are present on the chancel, and the windows and main door exhibit geometric tracery and diamond-stopped drip-moulds, with a shouldered arch leading to the chancel door.
