Church Of St Stephen

The Church of St. Stephen is a church built between 1872 and 1874, designed by Cornelius Sherlock. It is constructed of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with a tile ridge. The church consists of a nave with aisles beneath a lean-to roof, a south porch, a north-west steeple, a chancel, and flanking vestries. The five-bay nave includes aisle windows with two and three cusped ogee-headed lights, while the clerestory is adorned with rose windows. The tower is supported by angled buttresses and topped with crocketed gables. The west entrance features paired lancets beside a niche containing a statue, a cusped Lombard frieze, and an embattled parapet with gargoyles, along with a recessed spire that has lucarnes. The west window has four lights with intersecting tracery. The north vestry includes an entrance and a two-light window, while the south vestry, dated 1897, has a gabled roof and two-light windows. The chancel features a three-light east window with reticulated tracery and diagonal buttresses, as well as a lateral stack. Inside, there are arcades supported by round columns, a scissor-braced roof with the end two bays blocked, and a west window from the 1880s created by Morris and Co. The chancel also has a timber screen and a coffered roof.
