Description
Littledale Free Church is a disused church built in 1849 as a "Free" Church of England for Reverend John Dodson of Littledale Hall, who left the Church of England due to the Gorham judgement. The church is constructed from sandstone rubble and features a steep slate roof. It consists of a nave without a chancel division and includes a south porch. The windows have two chamfered lights with trefoiled heads. On the south side, to the west of the porch, there are three bays separated by buttresses, with the right-hand window missing its mullion. To the right of the porch is one additional bay, with diagonal buttresses at each end of the wall. The gabled porch has a doorway with a pointed arch that is chamfered in two orders, and above the door is a plaque inscribed: 'A Free Church 1849....' The east wall features two trefoiled lancets with a central buttress, topped by a gabled bellcote that has a trefoiled opening with a hood. The north nave wall has five bays separated by buttresses, with the western window being taller. The west wall includes a three-light window with plate tracery and a stone louvre at the apex, surrounded by four gabled sides pierced by trefoils. Inside, the church has a roof supported by scissor-braced rafters.
