Church of St Hilda

The Church of St Hilda is an Anglican church built between 1876 and 1881, designed by J.T. Micklethwaite. It features red brick with stone dressings and a steeply pitched slate roof, with the nave and chancel being the same height. The church is designed in the Gothic Revival style and includes north and south aisles, a two-light clerestory, lancet windows, and simple Geometrical traceried windows. A slim circular turret is located on the north side at the junction of the chancel and nave, topped with a conical spirelet. There is a bellcote over the west end and a north porch.

Inside, the church has octagonal piers and double-chamfered arches supporting a waggon roof. Plain beams across the aisles were added in 1903, and a rood-beam with a cross and figures above was added in 1904, both by W.H. Reynard, with painting and decoration completed between 1912 and 1917. A rood-screen was constructed between 1921 and 1923 by W.H. Wood, featuring two bas-relief panels added in 1924 by sculptor J.T. Ogleby and painter S. Watkins, depicting the Incarnation and Resurrection. The reredos, designed by W.H. Wood in 1927, includes canvas paintings by Bacon and carvings by Messrs Brown. A font cover, also designed by W.H. Wood, was erected in 1938. The woodwork throughout the church is elaborately carved and painted in a late Victorian, restrained Gothic style, reflecting Micklethwaite's original vision, although much of it was executed in the 20th century. The east window, created between 1891 and 1902, is possibly designed by Kempe.
