Description
The Church of St Patrick is a Roman Catholic church built between 1869 and 1870, with remodeling completed in 1907. It was designed by Mitchell of Oldham. The church features coursed and squared rubble made from small blocks and has a banded Welsh slate roof. The structure includes a nave with a western narthex, a clerestory, lean-to aisles, and a chancel, all designed in the Early English style.
The west front has a gabled porch with triple lights at the apex and trefoiled windows on either side. Above the porch are three stepped lancets, and a bellcote is supported by corbels at the gable apex. The nave consists of four bays, each with wide paired lancets, and the confessionals are expressed as gables. The lower western bay features paired windows above the north door. The apsidal chancel is adorned with wide lancet windows.
Inside, there is an organ loft over the western narthex and four-bay arcades. The chancel is richly decorated with a reredos, and the east windows contain stained glass.
