Church of Saint Matthew

The Church of Saint Matthew is a Grade II listed church built between 1848 and 1857 by E. H. Shellard. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a slate roof. The church consists of a nave and chancel, with a south-west tower added around 1878, along with flat-roofed 20th-century additions to the west and north. The nave has four bays with a projecting plinth and gableted buttresses, and each bay contains a two-light window with reticulated tracery. The chancel has two bays with cusped lancet windows, and both sections have coped gables with finials. The three-stage tower features clasping buttresses, an arched door, small lancet openings, and a squat spire that sits behind corner pinnacles, housing the belfry with gabled two-light openings.

Inside, there is a west gallery with a blind arcaded parapet supported by cast-iron columns. The roof features arch-braced collar-tie trusses on carved corbels, and the chancel has a wagon roof. The church contains timber fittings and a stone font, along with stained glass windows, some created by Kempe and Tower, and others by F. Comere and Capronnier.
