Description
The Church of St Benedict is a parish church, now closed and used as a store. It was built in 1860, incorporating some re-used materials by Mr. Hackford. The structure is made of squared and coursed limestone and greenstone rubble, topped with slate roofs. It features a western tower with a spike, a nave, a north aisle, a chancel, and a vestry.
The two-stage tower has set-back buttresses and a broach spire in the Early English style, which includes two tiers of lucarnes. The west side of the tower has a three-light geometric window, while the upper stage contains single lancets on all four sides. The greenstone north aisle features three triple cusped-headed lights, with the westernmost being a re-used 14th-century piece. The vestry has a single light window.
In the chancel, the north wall has a cusped two-light window, and the east wall has a matching triple reticulated light. There is also a two-light window in the north wall of the chancel and three two-light windows in the nave, all with plate tracery. The south door in the tower is pointed and has side shafts with a rib-moulded head.
Inside, the church has a three-bay north arcade with double chamfered round arches and octagonal piers. It also contains an architectural fragment of a pillar piscina with a fluted capital.
