Description
The Church of Saint Monica is a church built in 1882 by Windsor Iron Works from Liverpool. It is constructed from corrugated iron with a sheet iron roof and timber. The church features a two-bay nave with north and south transepts, and a two-stage north bell turret with a broach spire located at the angle between the north transept and the nave. The chancel is a single bay and includes a north vestry.
The nave has pointed windows with paired mullions, and the west end showcases triple stepped pointed windows. The building is adorned with fretted bargeboards and ridge cresting. The bell turret includes a diagonally-boarded double-leaf door on the north side and a pointed window on the west. It is offset with an encircling single-pitch roof that has iron shingles beneath the belfry stage, featuring two light belfry openings with curvilinear tracery made of timber, all beneath the broach spire which has false timber lucarnes. The transepts also have triple stepped pointed windows on both the north and south sides, along with fretted bargeboards. The chancel contains three triple stepped pointed windows.
Inside, the church has pine board cladding on the walls and ceilings, and the roof features exposed arch-braced principal rafter trusses with collars.
