Church Of St Cuthbert

The Church of St. Cuthbert is a church built in 1878 by the architectural firm Paley and Austin, with completion in 1907-1908. It is constructed from yellow sandstone with pink bands and features a slate roof. The church is designed in an eclectic Gothic style and includes a west tower, an aisled nave, a chancel with a north vestry, and a south chapel.

The west tower is rectangular and consists of three stages, topped with a saddle-back roof that has clock faces on the gables and sides. The tower features an arched west door, which has a foundation stone from 1907 to its left, large coupled west windows with transoms and traceried heads, and triple belfry openings that are glazed below and louvred above. There is also a polygonal stair turret at the angle with the north aisle. The high nave, which had a west bay added in 1907, has six tall cinquefoil-headed windows, while the chancel has traceried two-light windows at the same level. The low aisles have square windows with reticulated tracery. The north aisle includes a gabled porch with a statue niche in the gable and a side entrance, while the south aisle has a gabled porch at the west end and a cross-gable in the next bay, which may be the 1878 porch. The chapel features a transomed four-light window, and the vestry has a two-span roof with windows that have Y-tracery. The east window of the chancel is a five-light window with reticulated tracery.

Inside, the nave arcade consists of four bays, chamfered in three orders and supported by octagonal columns and responds with moulded caps, except in the first bay where the columns are multifoil with circular caps. The very high chancel arch matches these columns and features a traceried screen from 1908, which is surmounted by angels holding lettered shields. There is an 18th-century organ in its original case, topped with a crown and two mitres. The wooden-framed marble reredos includes pictorial panels inlaid with mosaic and glazed tiles, dated 1912. The nave roof is a kingpost design with windbraces. The chapel contains War Memorial windows in the style of Morris.
