Church of St Agnes

The Church of St Agnes is an Arts and Crafts style church built between 1884 and 1885 by Medland and Henry Taylor, with a north aisle added in 1895 and subsequent alterations. The construction uses speckled brick in English bond, with red brick dressings, and a steeply-pitched red tiled roof. The building comprises a nave with a south porch and a canted-bay west window, a north aisle with an apsidal west end and a two-story transept to the east, a south chapel forming coupled transepts to the nave and chancel, a chancel with a triangular apse, and a roof bellcote.

The nave has four bays, buttresses and low eaves, with a gabled porch featuring a doorway with a three-order chamfered arch and a steeply pitched roof. The nave windows are of two, three, and three lancet lights, with a gabled dormer in the roof. The bellcote is playfully designed, with a lateral pitched roof and a fleche. The chapel has coupled gables with two-light lancet windows. The west end is asymmetrical, with a tall canted bay to the nave incorporating tall cusped lancets and a hipped roof, and smaller lancets to either side. Projecting from the west end of the aisle is a semicircular apse with lancet windows and a two-centred arched doorway with a hoodmould. The north side of the aisle has three windows with stepped lancet lights, a large red-brick gabled dormer, and a two-story transept at the east end. The triangular apse of the chancel is dated July 1884 and contains two two-light windows with cusped lights on each side.

Inside, the church features a deeply arch-braced kingpost roof with wind-braced purlins, common rafters with collars, and diagonal roof boarding. A three-bay aisle arcade has short cylindrical piers and stepped two-centred brick arches, now filled with 20th-century glazed screens. The aisle, now a church hall, has exposed wooden gable roofs. The chancel arch is two-centred with polychrome voussoirs, resting on short quatrefoil piers. The chancel has a two-bay south arcade of two-centred brick arches, the centre of which is open and Y-shaped. A baptistry is located within a canted apse at the west end of the nave.
