Roman Catholic Church Of St Patrick With Attached Presbytery

The Roman Catholic Church of St Patrick, built in 1861 and designed by architect Charles Holt, features a combination of roughly coursed and squared stone with ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof that has scalloped bands. Attached to the church is the presbytery, which has a rubble facade and a brick rear, also with a slate roof.

The church has a nave with a single aisle and a tower located at the south-west corner. The exterior includes a two-stage tower with a short spire and clasping buttresses on the lower stage, which features a simple chamfered arched doorway on the south face, topped by a statue in a niche. The upper stage contains bell chamber lights and is chamfered to create an octagonal base for the short copper spire. The west end of the church is asymmetrical, with a roof that sweeps over the north aisle, which has a west doorway. A three-light window with foiled lancets is located in the west of the nave, above which is a rose window. The nave has four bays, with a low triple lancet window in the western bay beneath the gallery, and paired foiled lancets in the other bays.

The presbytery is three stories high, featuring a single-window range in an asymmetrical gable, with a catslide roof to the right over an entrance that has an added porch with a quatrefoil window above. A canted bay window is present in the main gable to the left, with spired two-light casement windows above, and a three-light window at the gable apex.

Inside, the church features a four-bay northern arcade with octagonal shafts on high bases and double chamfered arches, a panelled wagon roof, and a western gallery. The chancel arch is simply chamfered, and the reredos is traceried with low relief panels on each side. The east window contains stained glass depicting the crucifixion. The interior of the presbytery was not inspected.
