St. Anthony Coptic Orthodox Church

St. Anthony Coptic Orthodox Church is a church built in 1874 by T. D. Barry and Son of Liverpool, with E. I. Hubbard acting as superintendent architect. A tower and spire, originally part of the design, were added in 1910, and the chancel was extended in 1912 by Happs. The building is constructed from coursed, rock-faced sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. It is an example of the Gothic Revival style, employing Decorated-style tracery.

The church consists of a six-bay nave with aisles, a north-west porch, a south-west tower, and a two-bay chancel. A separately-roofed addition exists to the south, along with a lean-to vestry to the north.

The tower features offset angle buttresses. The west door, set within a gabled projection that fills the buttresses, has two orders of colonnettes to its pointed arch. Above this is a cusped lancet window beneath paired two-light belfry openings with blind panels, louvres, and tracery contained within pointed arches. The buttresses terminate as gablets incorporating carved-head stops. A corbel table and string course includes corner gargoyles beneath an ashlar parapet with roll-moulded copings. A recessed octagonal spire, decorated with crockets, sits atop the tower.

The nave's aisles have chamfered plinths and offset buttresses between bays. Two-light windows with stained glass, incorporating carved stops to the hoodmoulds, are present. A doorway is on the north side of the east bay. Two-light clerestory windows have segmentally-pointed arches. The west window is four-light, with a two-light aisle window to its left and an octagonal bell turret with a spirelet at its junction with the gabled north porch. The roofs are steeply pitched, featuring gable copings, iron crosses, and crested ridge tiles to the porch.

The chancel is lower than the nave, and features a five-light east window flanked by diagonal buttresses. Two-light windows are on the side walls, and another on the south addition. A square-headed three-light window is found on the vestry, with a pointed door to its west. Gable copings and a chancel cross complete the exterior, along with crested ridges.

Inside, a six-bay arcade extends to the north aisle and a five-bay arcade to the south. The arcade features octagonal piers with carved capitals and chamfered pointed arches. A moulded chancel arch is also present, and the floor is finished with encaustic tiles. The east window, designed by T. W. Camm of Smethick in 1910, is a notable feature.
