Church Of St Wilfrid

The Church of St Wilfrid is a parish church built between 1838 and 1840, with a chancel and porch added in 1891. It was designed by R D Chantrell and constructed from coursed dressed stone, featuring Welsh slate roofs and raised coped gables with kneelers. The church has a plinth and corner buttresses, and its west tower is topped with an octagonal stone spire. Flanking the tower are vestries, and the broad nave includes a semi-circular apse and a wooden gabled porch.

The west tower has a tall, narrow pointed arched doorway, with a single pointed arch bell opening on each face and a large clock face on the south and east sides. The single-storey vestries on either side of the tower have hipped roofs, with the south vestry retaining an original lancet window. The north vestry has been enlarged to create a parish room, featuring 20th-century casement windows. The north front displays four pairs of lancet windows, while the east front, which includes the semi-circular apse added in 1891, has three single lancets linked by a continuous cill band and a dentilated eaves cornice. The south front features a projecting gabled porch, added in 1891, with ornate wooden sides and gable. To the right are three pairs of lancets, and to the left is a single lancet, all separated by shallow buttresses.

Inside, the church has a boarded wooden roof with decorated queen post trusses. The chancel arch is double chamfered and has responds, and the chancel features a complex braced wooden roof. The original wooden pews are complemented by later wooden choir stalls. There is an ornate wooden pulpit and an iron altar rail, along with an early 20th-century organ. The circular stone font has a broad stem and a decorated bowl. A single wall monument to Henry Atkinson, dated 1743, is located to the right of the chancel arch. Most of the windows contain good quality stained glass.
