Description

The Church of St David, built between 1830 and 1833, features a chancel added in 1886 by J. Medland Taylor. It is constructed of stone with a slate roof and tile crest. The church has a nave that includes a west porch and a north projection, along with a chancel that has a south organ loft. The nave consists of nine bays, showcasing a corbel table and lancet windows with hoods set between slender weathered buttresses. The northern bay has a pointed entrance topped with a blind lancet, while the corresponding southern bay also features a blind lancet and ornamental iron railings leading to the basement.

The gabled porch includes a triplet of lancets and entrances on both the north and south sides, with a projection above that supports a gabled bell cote. The flanking lancets include one to the south positioned over later cusped lights. The north projection is a later addition with a lean-to roof, featuring an east quinquefoil window and a west entrance, along with a straight-headed window to the north that has two cusped lights.

The chancel is composed of two bays, with a buttress on the north side that has a hipped gable and a half-hexagonal upper section. The east side features a lancet window, while the west side has paired lancets beneath a hood. The east end is adorned with a three-light plate tracery window set on a cusped sill course, topped by a gable projection with a cross. A north lateral stack is present, featuring clustered octagonal shafts. The gabled organ loft has a west entrance, a lancet window to the south, and a projection beneath a cat-slide roof with a three-light single-chamfered-mullioned window to the east.

Inside, the church has a flat panelled ceiling, with windows that display round and octagonal shafts. The chancel arch and the arch leading to the vestry are both corbelled, and there is a timber screen. A west gallery is supported by three segmental arches. The central Warden's pew is notable for its timber vaulted canopy and cresting. To the left, the baptistry serves as a war memorial, and the ceiling features ribs and bosses, along with wainscotting that includes pierced tracery.
