Church of St Alban

The Church of St Alban is a Catholic church built between 1852 and 1853 by architects S.R. Eyre and J.A. Hansom. It is constructed of stone and features a roof made of hexagonal slates. The church includes a nave with a south aisle that has a lean-to roof, a northwest tower, a chancel, and a south chapel. The tower is supported by weathered angle buttresses and has a west entrance with two orders and an ogee hood mould. Above the entrance is a niche with a cusped arch and two-light louvred bell openings at the top. The tower is topped with a broach spire that has lucarnes, and the east side features a canted stair turret with a spirelet.

The nave has a four-light west window with Decorated tracery, situated above a later shallow confessional bay that has plate tracery windows. There is a niche to the right of the window and a three-light aisle window. On the south side, there are two-light aisle windows between buttresses, and a gabled porch at the second bay, while the first bay projects with straight-headed windows. The clerestory features spherical triangle windows, one of which has a louvre. The north side has deep buttresses that project above the eaves, tall two-light windows, and clerestory windows with plate tracery of two lights and spherical triangles above.

The chancel includes a north gabled vestry and an east four-light window set between angle buttresses. The south chapel has three-light windows on both the south and east sides. Inside, there is a six-bay arcade supported by quatrefoil piers with fillets. The timber west gallery features cusped panels. The chancel contains 20th-century fittings, three timber sedilia, and a two-bay arcade leading to the chapel with a parclose screen. The Lady chapel altar and altar rail are decorated with pierced tracery, and the walls are stencilled.
