Description
The Church of St Cyprian is a church dating from 1879-81, designed by H. Sumners. The roof was reconstructed between 1896 and 1898 by Willink and Thicknesse. It is constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs. The church consists of a six-bay nave with passage aisles, a west tower, a three-bay transeptal extension to the east end of the north aisle, a chancel with a rectangular apse, and vestries to the east and north. The architectural style is Free Gothic.
The tower features angle buttresses and pinnacles. The gabled west entrance has a round arch and two straight-headed doors with a traceried tympanum. Above the doors is a three-light window with a pierced parapet. The tower also has a four-faced clock and paired segmental-pointed bell openings, topped by an embattled parapet with gargoyles. A lean-to bay is on the right and a round-ended bay on the left. The aisles are windowless, with gabled buttresses. The clerestory has cross-gables and three-light segmental-headed windows with a low transom. The transeptal extension features three rose windows. The chancel has a gabled north organ loft, and the apse has a rose window.
The interior includes arcades with capitals, likely dating from around 1898, exhibiting a Romanesque style.
