Description

The Church of St. Cuthbert is a church that features a 14th-century tower, with the rest of the building restored and largely rebuilt in 1876 by the architects Carpenter and Ingelow from London. It is constructed from ashlar rubble stone and granite rubble stone, topped with a plain tile roof that has stone coped gables, finials, ornamental ridge tiles, and a stone stack on the north aisle. The church includes angle buttresses with set-offs and hood moulds, most of which have head stops.

The layout consists of a west tower, nave, north aisle, chancel, north chancel vestry, and south porch. The 14th-century ashlar tower has three stages, featuring a moulded plinth, angle buttresses with set-offs, a two-light west window, a triangular west window on the second stage, a south bull's eye window, and clock faces on the north and south sides. It also has four two-light bell openings adorned with Y or reticulated tracery and is topped with battlements.

Inside, there is a triple chamfered nave arch, with the outer two parts extending to the ground and the inner part resting on polygonal responds. The north arcade has four bays with double chamfered arches supported by keeled quatrefoil piers and keeled responds. The south side features three windows with Y or intersected tracery and a 19th-century five-bay wagon roof.

The north aisle includes windows with Y or intersected tracery, a north door, a piscina, and a northeast window with stained glass from 1926 by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. There is also a rood screen doorway and a moulded chancel arch on demi-quatrefoil responds. The chancel has windows with Y or intersected tracery, a south door, a 19th-century piscina, and an east window with stained glass from 1910, likely also by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, along with a 19th-century wagon roof. The south porch features a moulded arch on shafted responds and there is a probable 12th-century round font.
