Description
The Church of St Aidan, a Methodist church, was built in 1901 by architect Henry Lord. It is designed in a late Gothic style, constructed from red brick with terracotta dressings and a slate roof. The building features a four-bay nave with transepts and a chancel. There is a porch at the west gable end, supported by flying buttresses that rise to flank the west window, which contains three lancets set in a moulded blank arch. The sides of the church have coupled lancet windows, and there is a tall fleche on the roof. The transepts have coupled two-light traceried windows, while the chancel has a two-light Y-traceried east window.
Inside, the church boasts fine Art Nouveau stained glass created by Walter J. Pearce.
