Church Of St Ambrose

The Church of St. Ambrose is a church built between 1882 and 1885 by architects Aldridge and Deacon. It is constructed of stone and features green slate roofs with red ridge tiles, showcasing a blend of Early English and early French Gothic styles. The church includes a west tower, a nave with aisles, a chancel with a north transept that houses the organ and has a hipped roof, and a south chapel.

The tower consists of three stages, with the upper half serving as a high belfry that features very tall coupled lancet-shaped belfry louvres set within deeply chamfered splays. It has buttresses that reach half height, diagonal on the west corners and angled on the east. The southeast corner includes a round stair turret that rises to a small conical spire, topped with a pyramidal hexagonal roof and three octagonal pinnacles. The aisle has four lancet windows, while the nave contains four triple-lancet windows.

On the north side, there is a gabled porch that features rounded moulding in the splay of the arch, gabled corners, and an overhanging crocketed canopy at the apex, with a central corbel intended for a statue that is not present. The Lady Chapel has a triple lancet window, and the chancel features a three-light plate-traceried window with two cinquefoils and a quatrefoil at the top.

Inside, the nave arcade consists of three columns on each side, alternating between hexagonal columns with circular caps and circular columns with hexagonal caps. The tall arches leading to the tower and chancel have continuous moulded chamfers, and the windows have deep splayed reveals. The kingpost roof is supported by wall posts and small hammer beams.
