Description
The Church of St Junabius is a parish church that dates back to medieval times but was almost entirely rebuilt around 1881 by A Lloyd Oswell. It is constructed from coursed sandstone, rock-faced sandstone, and sandstone dressings, featuring a timber-framed bell-turret and tiled roofs. The church has a two-bay nave, a two-bay choir, a north aisle, a north vestry, and a south porch.
At the west end of the nave, there is a lancet window situated between a pair of weathered buttresses that support the west side of the bell-turret. The west window of the north aisle is trefoil-headed, and a catslide roof covers the north aisle, which has three buttresses on its north side. Between these buttresses are two groups of three lancets, with a door to the vestry towards the left. The east end of the north aisle features a pair of lancets. The east window of the chancel has three lights under a two-centred head with a label, while the south window is a lancet.
On the south side of the nave, there is a two-light window with Y-tracery to the right and a lancet to the left. Further to the left is the pine south porch, with a chamfered two-centred head on the south doorway. Inside, the church has largely medieval roofs in the nave and chancel. The nave features a wagon roof with raking struts above the collars, while the chancel has a roof with braced collars.
There is a 16th-century screen between the chancel and nave, which has three bays on either side of a central entry, adorned with a grotesque cornice band of dolphins and a "Renaissance" head in a roundel flanked by two mermaids. The north aisle is separated from the nave by two bays divided by an octagonal oak pier. The chancel contains a wall brass commemorating Thomas Tompkins, who drowned in 1629, and a Kempe east window. The font, dating from the 13th century, has an octagonal bowl and stem on a late 19th-century base. The pulpit incorporates two panels designed in an early 17th-century round-arch style. The late 19th-century organ in the nave follows the accommodation plan dated 1881 by Lloyd Oswell.
