Roman Catholic Church Of Saint Vincent De Paul

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Vincent de Paul, built between 1856 and 1857, is designed in the 13th-century style by Edward Welby Pugin. Constructed of stone with slate roofs, the church features a six-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, with aisles covered by lean-to roofs and taller gabled roofs at the west end. The north aisle has two large buttresses that extend through the eaves, and the end bay has gables on both the north and west sides, along with an eight-light window on the west. The nave includes four-light clerestory windows. The west entrance features paired arched doors beneath a pointed relieving arch, with a traceried roundel in the tympanum and an eight-light window above. An open traceried iron bellcote with a short spire is also present. The south aisle contains confessionals and dormers with spherical triangle windows, while the west bay mirrors that of the north aisle. The chancel has two tall dormers on the sides and a nine-light window at the east end.

Inside, the nave has an arcade with angel stops on the hoodmoulds and a wagon roof supported by wall piers. The chancel features arcades leading to flanking chapels, three marble altars with reredoses, and each chapel contains three statues in canopied niches. A continuous marble altar rail runs along the chancel and chapels, and there is 19th-century stained glass at the east end.
