Description

The Church of St. Lucius is a Gothic Revival church built in 1840 by architect R. D. Chantrell, founded by William, 4th Earl of Dartmouth. It is constructed of ashlar stone with a stone slate roof. The church features a stone gutter supported by carved square brackets, each displaying a different motif, with one bracket dated 1838. The structure includes a 4-bay nave, a 2-bay chancel, and a 2-tier west tower topped with a squat octagonal spire. Diagonal buttresses with shaped and crocketted offsets support the building.

The south porch has a very heavily moulded door surround. The nave windows are square-headed, featuring three lights with cusped, ogee-headed lights, although one window on the north side is blocked. The chancel has two similar two-light windows and a blind, moulded doorway. The east window is a 4-light design with Perpendicular tracery. The tower has an adjoining stair turret and a two-light west window with tracery. The second tier of the tower includes paired, cusped bell chamber openings with traceried heads, though the openings to the west are blocked.

Inside, the church has a very tall pointed arch leading to the tower and a shallow elliptical chancel arch. The interior features carved oak fittings and queen-post trusses supporting the roof.
