Description

The Church of St Aidan is a mission church built in 1900, serving as a Chapel of Ease. It is constructed on a brick plinth with a timber-framed structure clad in galvanised corrugated iron, topped with a corrugated iron roof. The bellcote is made of timber and houses an iron bell. The windows feature timber frames and cills, while the interior walls, roof, and vestries are lined with matchboard.

The chapel measures 12.2 meters by 5.5 meters and is oriented on a north-east/south-west axis. It consists of a nave and chancel under a single roof, with vestries inserted on both sides of the altar at the chancel end. A south porch is present, along with an adjacent shed. There is a vestry door located in the north-east corner, accessed by brick steps.

Externally, the corrugated iron walls overhang the brick plinth and are adorned with timber cross windows. There are three high-set windows in the eaves on both principal elevations and two windows at each end. The south-west corner features a projecting porch with a Tudor-arched door and an ornamental door handle, topped with a pitched roof that has bargeboards and a cross. To the left of the porch is a later 20th-century timber shed. The chancel end displays shaped bargeboards with a cross at the apex, and two sign boards are positioned below the window cill level. The north-west elevation includes a door on the left and three windows on the right. A square bellcote with a bell from the J Taylor Foundry, dated 1900, is located at the south end of the roof.

Inside, the matchboarded walls and roof reveal exposed timber roof trusses below the collar, which are supported by metal bracing. The timber altar is fixed to a plinth at the chancel end, with vestries fitted on either side. The chancel floor is raised one step above the nave.
