Description
The Church of St Saviour, built in 1837 by William Hurst of Doncaster, is a Grade II listed church located on Main Street in Aukley. It is constructed of yellow brick in Flemish bond and features a 20th-century cement-tile roof. The church has a combined nave and chancel with north and south porches and consists of three bays, showcasing a Gothic Revival style.
The building has a chamfered plinth and a central north porch that includes a panelled door with a pointed overlight, all framed by a chamfered brick surround. Above the door, a string course rises as a hoodmould, leading to a peaked string course over the gable. The sides of the porch feature square-headed, two-light mullioned windows, with a string course above them also serving as a hoodmould.
The outer bays have a string course that continues from the porch, along with pilaster buttresses flanking the two-light windows, which are adorned with cusped cast-iron tracery set in double-chamfered, pointed-arched surrounds with hoodmoulds. An eaves band with corbelled blocks forms kneelers that support the ashlar gable copings, which are topped with an east cross and an ashlar bellcote at the west end. The east window consists of three lights with cusped cast-iron tracery, while the west end features two blind lancet windows and a gable vesica. The cast-iron windows were supplied by Messrs. Marshall of Derby, with additional building details recorded by Rev G. H. Woodhouse in 1877.
