Former Church of St Stephen

The building is a former church dating from 1868, rebuilt in 1926-1927 by architect Robert Martin. It is constructed of rock-faced sandstone with a slate roof featuring two bands of fishscale slates. The design is in a simple Gothic style. The north-west tower has a spire, and the main body of the church consists of a nave with a polygonal chancel.

The three-stage tower, which incorporates a porch, has angle buttresses. The arched north doorway has a hoodmould with figured stops, and there are two triangular trefoils in each side wall. There are two lancet windows at the middle level, and the belfry has two cusped louvres set within a panel with Lombard frieze. The broach spire has lucarnes to the cardinal faces (the north, south, east, and west sides). The west end of the nave has a short gabled porch with figured stops to the hoodmould, buttresses flanking the arch, and windows of two cusped lights on each side. Above the porch is a three-light west window with plate tracery. The buttressed five-bay nave has two-light windows with plate tracery, and the polygonal chancel, in matching style, has a gabled vestry and organ house on the north and south sides. A small modern extension is located at the south-west corner of the nave.

Inside, the nave has a single vessel with an arch-braced hammerbeam roof supported by carved stone corbels, each with different foliation. The chancel roof is supported by a hammerbeam rising from carved angel corbels and features one scissor-braced truss. A brass plate in the south side of the chancel arch indicates that the church formerly stood one and a quarter miles up the valley and that it was rebuilt on this site, being consecrated on 22 May 1927. A plate on the facing wall marks the laying of the corner stone by the Earl of Derby on 21 March 1926.

A war memorial window on the south side of the nave depicts a soldier holding a helmet and rifle, a large angel with an arm over his shoulder pointing heavenwards, and Christ the King. Inscription at the head reads "Well done thou good and faithful servant Enter thou into the joy of the Lord", while the foot commemorates sixteen men from the parish.
