Church Of St Saviour

The Church of St Saviour is a late 12th-century church with subsequent alterations. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with a stone slate roof. The church comprises a single range with angle buttresses, and includes a late-addition open gabled south-west porch. The south wall has two Perpendicular windows; the left-hand window has round heads to the lights, and the right-hand window features ogee heads with cusps. A chamfered lancet with a hood, wider towards the bottom, sits between these windows. A doorway, dating to the early 13th century, is located at the west end; it has a two-centred arch of two moulded orders, moulded imposts, and angle shafts with capitals featuring waterleaf carving. The outer shaft on the east side of this doorway is now missing. The original studded plank door remains. The east wall has a three-light window with intersecting tracery, while the west wall has a two-light window with Y-tracery. High up on the west wall is a blocked chamfered doorway with a pointed head, likely once leading to a timber gallery within the church. The north wall has two narrow chamfered windows with hoods, probably dating to the 12th century. A chamfered doorway with a round head and a hood with zigzag decoration, likely restored, sits between these windows.

Inside, a 17th-century screen of square panels, topped with turned balusters, divides the nave from the sanctuary. An octagonal pulpit, also of square panels and raised on a stone base, is located on the south side of the sanctuary. The south wall of the sanctuary contains a piscina with a cusped head. Set into the stone flag floor are several grave covers, including a 14th-century double sepulchral stone with two floriated crosses and inscriptions. The roof is a timber structure with seven trusses, featuring short king posts rising off collars. Trusses 2 and 5, from the west, have tie beams with carved central bosses. The purlins have straight windbraces running in all four directions. The early 16th-century sandstone font is octagonal, with the carving in good condition; shields bearing heraldic and other devices are carved on each side of the bowl.
