Roman Catholic Church Of Our Lady And All Saints

The Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady and All Saints, formerly known as the Church of Our Lady and All Souls, was built in 1884 by E. Kirby. It is constructed from sandstone rubble and features slate roofs. The church includes a west tower with a spire, a nave with a clearstorey, north and south aisles, a south porch, a lower chancel, a north transept, a south chapel, and a south vestry. The tower is supported by angle buttresses and corner pinnacles, and it has a bell stage with trefoiled lancet openings, along with a 4-light west window that has a traceried head. The stone spire is adorned with lucarnes. The nave consists of five bays, with clearstorey windows that are triple stepped lancets. The aisles are illuminated by mostly paired trefoiled lancets, separated by buttresses. The porch features a moulded pointed outer doorway, and at the east end of the chancel, there is a rose window.

Inside, the nave has five-bay arcades with pointed arches that have inner chamfers and outer mouldings, supported by round piers with moulded caps. The tower arch is pointed and chamfered in four orders, which die into splayed responds. The chancel arch is also pointed and features paired engaged shafts as responds. The nave roof is boarded and has trusses with arched braces supported by corbelled wallposts. Arches lead into the north transeptal chapel from the aisle and from the chancel. The south chapel has one arched entrance from the aisle and two arches opening into the chancel. The chancel has an arched ceiling divided by two ribs with stencil decoration, and at the east end, there is a stone reredos with carved figures of saints and an elaborately carved and crocketed ciborium.
