Church Of The Good Shepherd

The Church of the Good Shepherd is a church built in 1888 by the architectural firm Paley and Austin. It is constructed from sandstone rubble and features stone slate roofs. The church consists of a nave and chancel, a central tower, and a lean-to vestry on the north side of the tower.

The nave has chamfered mullioned windows with round heads for the lights. On the north side, there are two windows with two lights each, while the south side has one window with three lights. At the east end of the south wall, there is a gabled porch. The west window features two round-headed lights beneath a pointed head with Perpendicular tracery. The tower is buttressed on the north and south sides, with a south-facing window that has two round-headed lights under a pointed head with Perpendicular tracery. The bell openings consist of a single trefoiled light under a flat head with a hood, and they have stone louvres. The pyramid roof is set back behind a parapet with coping.

On the south side of the chancel, there are two hollow-chamfered windows with round-headed lights under flat heads with hoods. The right-hand window has one light, while the left-hand window has two lights and appears to be partly from the 16th century, having been reused from an earlier chapel on the site. The east window features four lights with Perpendicular tracery and a pointed head.

Inside, the nave has five trusses with arch-braced collars and king posts, with the central truss also including a tie beam. Each side of the tower has pointed arches that are chamfered in two orders. The pews are made of pitch pine, and the pulpit and front choir stalls have turned baluster decoration. The communion rails, which also feature turned balusters, appear to be from the 18th century and are reused. The east and west windows contain early 20th-century glass. In the vestry, there are re-set 18th-century wall tablets and a small octagonal stone font with a 17th-century font cover.
