Description
The Church of St. Stephen, built around 1881 by T.H. and F. Healey from Bradford, is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features a Welsh slate roof in the Early English style. The church includes a nave, chancel, south transept, north vestry, and a south porch, with a tower located on the southeast side above the organ, which is to the right of the south transept. It has diagonal buttresses, coped gables with kneelers, and lancet windows. A notable feature is the three-stage tower topped with a broached spire that has lucarnes on the cardinal faces. The third stage of the tower includes a two-light arched belfry window with a quatrefoil design. The three-light east window showcases geometrical tracery, and the plinth beneath it extends to form walls with chamfered coping, topped with cast and wrought-iron railings featuring a fleur-de-lis motif. There are two sets of gate-piers with octagonal pointed caps that have matching gates.
Inside, the church has a five-bay nave with a waggon roof that retains stencil decoration, as well as a five-bay panelled chancel and a south transeptal chapel. The interior preserves its original furnishings and decorative scheme. The stained glass east window, depicting the Life of Christ, was created by the Powel Brothers from Leeds in memory of Herbert Todd, the Vicar of Kildwick. The west window, designed by Clayton and Bell around 1913, complements the interior. The reredos was designed by Godfrey L. Clarke, an architect from London and son of the then vicar, around 1910.
