Church Of St Clement

The Church of St Clement is a church built in 1861 by Pennington and Bridgen, with a south transept and chancel added in 1895 by W. Higginbottom. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone rubble and features a slate roof with bands of fishscale slates, showcasing a geometric Gothic Revival style. The church has a five-bay aisled nave, a south-west tower, a north-west porch, north and south transepts, and a two-bay chancel.

The tower includes an octagonal belfry stage with shafts supporting trefoil-headed windows, topped by a short spire divided into two stages by an arcade of lucarnes. The west end features a cusped doorway with a moulding in two orders and foliated caps on the shafts, now flanked by inserted windows. The aisles contain two-light windows, while the north aisle has a timber-framed gabled porch with a robust design. The nave includes a clerestory with multifoiled oculi. The transepts are adorned with three-light windows, and the chancel boasts a five-light east window with a large multifoil at the top and a hoodmould with figured stops.

Inside, the church has undergone alterations, with the west bays enclosed and a floor inserted, while the remainder has been re-oriented. The aisle arcades consist of two-centred arches on alternating round and octagonal columns, with clustered piers in the former chancel. The nave and chancel feature open-truss roofs, and the east window is filled with very colorful stained glass.
