Description
The Church of St. Saviour is a church built in 1872 by James Brooks, with a matching extension added in 1922. It is constructed of thin snecked sandstone with dry-faced joints and features ashlar dressings, topped with a Cornish slate roof. The church is designed in a Free Gothic style and consists of a nave with a south porch, a north aisle, and an added north vestry, along with a chancel. The nave has four bays, a gabled porch on the left, and a buttress on the right, with a roll-moulded band. The windows include single and paired lancets with continuous roll-moulded hoodmoulds. A square pyramidal-roofed bell tower is situated over the west bay, featuring quatrefoiled wood-louvred sides and a slated roof. The west window consists of two tall lancets with a continuous hoodmould and a cinquefoiled light above. The three-bay lower chancel has a buttress on the right and a single-light window in each bay, while the east window has three lights with plate tracery. The roofs are adorned with kneelers, copings, gable crosses, and decorative terracotta ridge tiles. Inside, the church retains unspoilt contemporary features such as an arcade capital that is left uncarved, exposed wallstone with deeply splayed window reveals, sedilia, piscina, and some stained glass. The nave roof features collared and scissor-braced rafters with two crown-post trusses beneath the bell tower, while the chancel roof is scissor-braced only.
