Description
The Church of St Oswald is a Grade II* listed building located on Main Street in Hotham. It features an early 12th-century tower that was restored in 1789, with an early 19th-century extension to the nave. The nave and chancel were heavily restored in 1905 by F S Brodrick. The church is constructed of ashlar and rubble, with a brick nave extension and a plain tile roof.
The structure includes a broad, squat west tower with a round-arched west door featuring two roll-moulded orders on scalloped capitals within the arch's soffit. Above the door is a 2-light cinque-cusped pointed window, which is part of a zigzag band that runs continuously around all three exposed faces of the tower, which has been refaced above the window. Each face of the tower also has round-arched belfry windows.
On the south side of the nave, there is a porch with a pointed doorway to the west and two pointed windows with three stepped lights and a continuous sill band to the east. A stepped buttress marks the junction between the nave and chancel. The north side of the nave features a 3-light window with pointed tracery. The gables are stone-coped, with ridge crosses on both the nave and chancel. The extension includes a pointed window and a round-arched doorway on the west facade, as well as a flat-headed doorway and a round-arched window on the north facade. The vestry, which is gabled to the north, has a 2-light pointed window.
On the south side of the chancel, there is a 2-light window with geometric tracery and a blocked priest's door. The east end features a 3-light pointed window with geometric tracery. Inside, the tower arch consists of two orders on scalloped capitals, with zigzag detailing on the outer order.
