Church of St. Philip and St James

The Church of St. Philip and St. James, built in 1853 with a south aisle and spire added in 1857 by J.S. Crowther, features a vestry added in 1903 by F.P. Oakley. Constructed from hammer-dressed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, the roof is made of bands of green, grey, and blue-grey slates with a pierced ridge. The church is designed in the Decorated style with reticulated tracery and includes a six-bay nave and aisles, each under its own ridge, a three-bay chancel, a hexagonal vestry, and a four-stage southwest tower with a spire.

The aisles are divided by buttresses, each containing a two-light window. The chancel mirrors this design but features a priest's door with a trefoil cusped head and ornate iron hinges, ending with diagonal buttresses topped with crocketted pinnacles. The east window consists of four lights with an ogee-shaped hood. The tower is supported by angle buttresses and features a deeply rebated porch door on three colonnettes with a label mould on carved head stops, single lights in the next two stages, and ornate surrounds to two-light louvred bell openings. The tall spire has three levels of lucarnes.

Inside, the church has a six-bay arcade with round columns in the north aisle and octagonal columns in the south aisle. The chancel arch is supported by engaged semi-hexagonal columns. The chancel includes a sedilia on the south wall and a piscina on the north, both with trefoil cusped heads. A finely carved reredos depicting the Last Supper, created in 1903, complements the delicate panelling of the simple choir stalls, pulpit, and organ screen from 1907. A Morris window from 1873 is located in the south aisle, and the church features wagon roofs throughout.

Although constructed in two phases, the church was likely envisioned as a cohesive whole, showcasing a powerful exterior with precise detailing by the co-author of "Churches of the Middle Ages" alongside Bowman.
