Magdalene House

Magdalene House is a parish church that has been converted into a house. It dates from the mid- to late 12th century, with alterations likely made in the 14th century and again in the 17th century. The building was restored in 1877 and converted to a house in the late 20th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof featuring gable-end parapets and a rubble ridge stack.

The former nave and chancel are continuous and include a south porch, although the west bell cote has been removed. The main south elevation has two restored 14th-century two-light windows and, at the western end, a pair of inserted 20th-century lancet windows. The south porch, possibly from the 17th century, is gabled and timber-framed on a stone base, with arch-braced inner and outer moulded tie-beams forming segmental archways and four-light openings on the sides. Inside the porch, the south doorway is from the 12th century, featuring moulded jambs and a lintel decorated with rosettes, chevrons, and star shapes. The rear arch is round, and there is a 20th-century door. The east end wall retains a 14th-century lancet, while the west end wall was rebuilt in the 19th century and has a two-light window. The north elevation has a narrow lancet at the eastern end, along with a 20th-century single-light, two-light, and three-light chamfered mullioned window, plus three skylights.

Inside, there is no chancel arch. The roof features 14th or 15th-century arch-braced collar trusses that have been partly restored, along with a 17th-century tie-beam truss at the western end that once supported the bell cote. Various fittings, including a 17th-century altar table and rails, an enriched panelled reredos, and some early 18th-century ledger slabs, have been removed.
