Church of St Matthew

The Church of St Matthew is a parish church dating from 1843, located in Sutton Bridge. It is constructed of knapped flint with ashlar dressings, incorporating some brick. The church has slate roofs with ashlar coped gables and ridge finials to the porches and east chancel. It comprises a tower, nave, north and south aisles, porches, and a chancel.

The three-stage tower is set back on the upper stage, with bands, and topped with a small square stair turret with an ashlar parapet. The tower features a west doorway with a moulded arch and hood mould, with pointed arched lights above to the west, north, and south, each with flush ashlar surrounds and continuous sills. There are lozenge ashlar panels with incised crosses to the west, and clock faces to the south and north. Four arched bell chamber openings have three pointed arched lights, a hood mould, and label stops. The stair turret has a doorway with a plank door, and pointed arched lights to the west, north, and east.

The north aisle's west wall has an arched window with three pointed lights, a hood mould, and a continuous sill band. The south wall includes a gabled porch with a moulded arched entrance, a hood mould, and label stops. Two-light arched windows with trefoils are present, along with two similar windows in the east wall. The clerestory has four smaller two-light windows. The north chancel features a large arched window with two arched and cusped lights above and below a transom, surmounted by a quatrefoil in a roundel, with a hood mould and label stops. The east chancel is diagonally buttressed with a large arched three-light window with cusped tracery, a hood mould, label stops, and a continuous sill band. The south side of the church largely mirrors the north side.

Inside, the nave has four-bay arcades with octagonal piers and chamfered arches. The tower and chancel arches are also chamfered. The church features a 19th-century reredos, a decorative font, and 19th-century roofs decorated with open tracery.
