Description

The Church of St. Philip is a parish church built in 1857 by Maugham and Fowler. It is constructed of red brick with greenstone bands and features ashlar dressings. The stone-coped slate roofs are adorned with decorative ridge tiles. The church comprises a nave with a western bellcote, a south porch, and a chancel. The west end includes central and angled buttresses along with two lancet windows. The gabled bellcote is topped with a cross fleury and has a trefoil-headed bell opening. The side walls of the nave contain single and paired lancets, while the chancel's north and south walls feature single lancets, and the east wall has a three-light stepped lancet with a moulded hood that has floriate stops. The gabled south porch has a chamfered and pointed outer door with a hood mould, and the inner doorway is similar.

Inside, the chancel arch is characterized by clustered shafted reveals, annular capitals and bases, and a double chamfered pointed arch with a hood. The east window has shafted rear arches, and the chancel floor is tiled. Most fittings are from the 19th century, except for a 13th-century octagonal font bowl and capitals that support a 19th-century shafted base, which is topped with an 18th-century conical wooden cover.
