Church Of St Cecilia

The Church of St Cecilia is a parish church that dates from the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, and was rebuilt in 1879 by Ewan Christian. It is constructed of coursed blue lias rubble with ashlar dressings and features Westmorland and Welsh slate roofs, coped gables, two gable crosses, and a sanctus bellcote. The church comprises a nave, chancel, and a south porch.

The south porch is a 19th-century gabled timber structure with a 14th-century chamfered doorway, flanked by two single lancets and a central buttress with two setoffs. Beyond this, there is a single 15th-century cusped lancet with trefoils in the spandrels, and another single lancet to the east. The west end features two 14th-century lancets in splayed reveals, with a 19th-century circular window above that has geometrical tracery, and a single gable stack.

On the north side of the nave, there is a single chamfered lancet and a Tudor arched blocked opening. To the east, there is one double and one triple lancet in square-headed chamfered reveals. The chancel's north side has a 19th-century priest's door and a single lancet, while the south side has another 19th-century priest's door and a 15th-century double lancet with a plain hood mould. The east window features a 19th-century triple lancet with curvilinear tracery.

Inside, the church has plain 19th-century fittings, including an octagonal font on a broached octagonal stem, a timber pulpit on a stone base, and memorial tablets dating from 1851 and 1864. The interior also features a 19th-century arch-braced kingpost roof. The chancel arch is from the 13th century and has half-pier responds with moulded capitals and water-holding bases, while the roof is a common rafter design with struts to the collar beam.
