Description

The Church of St Giles is a parish church built between 1884 and 1885. It is constructed of rough faced ashlar and features clay tile roofs with coped verges. The church has a three-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, along with a south chapel and a south porch, all designed in a style reminiscent of the mid-14th century.

The west facade includes two pointed windows, and a single trefoil-headed light with a trefoil above. There are buttresses on the left, right, and center, with the central buttress supporting an engaged column adorned with moulded capitals and flanked by moulded corbels featuring stiff leaf ornament. From the capital and corbels, two cinquefoil-headed arches rise to support the belfry. The nave features pointed windows with two lights, ogee trefoiled heads, and quatrefoils above. The east window is pointed and consists of three cinquefoiled lights with cusped flowing tracery above. The south porch is gabled with a pointed entrance arch that springs from nook shafts with moulded capitals. The south chapel also has a gabled roof and features an ashlar octagonal shafted stack.
