Church Of St Gilbert And St Hugh

The Church of St Gilbert and St Hugh is a chapel of ease built between 1902 and 1904 by the architects Bucknall and Comper. It features a brick plinth and a timber frame, with the nave having rendered panels and a rendered brick chancel that includes ashlar dressings. The roof is made of Collyweston slate. The church has a nave with an eastern bellcote, a chancel, a south porch, and a vestry. The walls are supported by diagonal braces and rails.

At the west end, there is a five-light timber Perpendicular window with arched heads, above which is a slightly shallower similar window. The gable includes a rectangular louvred panel. The nave walls have deeply coved eaves, and the north wall is divided into four bays marked by vertical posts, featuring four five-light windows that match the west end. The east end of the nave has an open gabled bellcote with a lead roof and timber supports.

The chancel's north wall is made of rendered brickwork and has a three-light ashlar window with cusped heads. It also features angled stepped corner buttresses. The east end has a similar three-light window with a triangular head, above which is an ogee-headed lancet and a cross fleury. Below this is an inscribed stone marking the church's foundation in 1902. The south wall of the chancel mirrors the north wall. The vestry includes a five-light timber window on the east side and a plank and muntin door with a four-centred arched head on the west. There are two additional five-light timber windows on the south side.

The gabled south porch has a four-centred open outer doorway with glazed side panels and four lights on the porch sides, along with side benches and plank and muntin double doors leading to the interior. Inside, the nave features vertical wall posts, chamfered tie beams, and swept braces, with studding on the east wall above the chancel opening. The chancel ceiling is coved with brattishing along the cornice, and the east window contains stained glass by Comper. Notable fittings include a corner pillar piscina with an ogee-headed and brattished top, a chancel rail in 17th-century style with splat balusters, and an octagonal font with traceried side panels and an ogee-headed shaft.
