Church Of St Saviour

The Church of St Saviour, built between 1850 and 1854 by architects Sharpe and Paley, is located on Kearsley Fold Road in Ringley. It is constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof. The church has a nave with aisles beneath lean-to roofs and a chancel that includes a south vestry.

The five-bay nave is adorned with aisle windows that have two trefoil-headed lights under multifoils and single-chamfered tracery. The clerestory contains quatrefoil windows. The north aisle features a porch with a segmental-pointed entrance and a window to the right with three pointed lights supported by uncarved corbels. The west end has an entrance beneath three tall two-light traceried windows, with an octagonal turret to the right that has a gabled buttress. The turret's top stage includes angle shafts and lancet openings, topped with a cornice and slate spire. There is also a gabled buttress to the left and two-light plate tracery aisle windows. The entrance hood stops and buttress corbels are uncarved.

The chancel is flanked by diagonal buttresses and has stepped triple lancets, with three additional lancets on the north side. The vestry features two lights and a keyed roundel, with the keys inscribed with the letters AMDG. Its entrance has a shouldered lintel to the east, and there are straight-headed windows to the south and west.

Inside, the church has five-bay nave arcades supported by round columns and a braced collar roof. A round font rests on clustered shafts. Above the entrance, there is a depiction of the arms of Charles I, dated 1637. The church contains wall memorials for Ellis Fletcher, who died in 1836, and Matthew Fletcher, who died in 1808; both memorials feature figures by urns on plinths with profile portraits. The chancel arch is supported by corbelled shafts, and there is an octagonal pulpit on a shaft adorned with symbols of the evangelists. A rood on the beam, added in 1928, displays a crucifixion flanked by figures. An organ loft is located to the south.

The east end of the church features alabaster arcading with mosaic panels and ceramic tile figures, a double piscina to the north, and three sedilia to the south. The church also boasts good 19th-century stained glass in the east and 17th-century armorial glass in the north, along with two early 19th-century wall memorials.
