Description
The Church of St Philip and St James is a church dating from 1874, designed by H I Stevens, with designs likely produced before his death in 1873. Constructed of gritstone ashlar with a tiled roof and stone coped gables at the west end and over the chancel arch, the church comprises a nave, chancel, a south porch, and a bell turret on the west gable. The building is executed in the Early English style, featuring single lancets, and lancets arranged in pairs and triplets, some with trefoiled heads. The nave consists of two bays. The interior is characterised by bands of red brick and ashlar, enlivened with encaustic tiles, and tiled floors throughout. Contemporary fittings include choir stalls, benches, a communion rail, and a lectern.
