Description

The Church of St. Saviour is a large Gothic Revival church built in 1901 by C. Hodgson Fowler. It is constructed from hammer dressed stone with ashlar dressings. The church features steeply pitched and hipped roofs, which are slated at the west end and tiled at the east. The structure includes a 5-bay nave with a similarly proportioned south aisle that has a pitched roof. There is a north porch and a tall chancel with large north and south transepts. The east window is a tall 5-light design with reticulated tracery, while the south transept window is a large wheel. The north transept window features a 2-tier design with reticulated tracery. The aisle, side chapel, and nave windows are 2-light with curvilinear tracery. The north porch is accompanied by a short square tower that has an octagonal open bell-cote with a slated spine and archivolted slender, cusped openings. The west window consists of 3-lights with reticulated tracery.

Inside, there is a 5-bay central arcade supported by octagonal piers, and large transept arches on clustered responds. The north side chapel has 2 bays that are arcaded in each direction on clustered and filleted responds and piers. An organ chamber is located on the south side of the rood loft. The east end features wooden vaulted roofs, while the nave and aisle have an arched braced collar roof. The east window contains commemorative glass from 1922, and the east window of the north chapel has commemorative glass from 1924.
