Church Of St Mary And St Giles And All Saints

The Church of St Mary and St Giles and All Saints is a chapel of ease built in 1911 by Temple Moore. It is constructed of finely random coursed, dressed, and squared stone with a tiled roof and verge parapets. The building comprises a west tower, a combined nave and chancel, a south porch, and a north vestry. The architectural style combines Decorated details with a simple structure.

The square west tower has three stages and is banded at the plinth and bell chamber levels. It features crenellated parapets, a chamfered mullion two-light bell chamber opening, and a labelled three-light pointed west window. The nave and chancel appear as a single unit externally, with five and a half bays divided by large buttresses, banded at the cill and impost levels of the high-set, pointed, three-light windows with elaborate, mannered-mouchette tracery. A large five-light east window mirrors the tracery style. A pointed-arch doorway to the southwest is sheltered by a timber-framed gabled porch with a Westmorland slate and brick-nogged timber roof. The gabled north vestry has a clasping chimney stack to the right and a single-storey addition to the left; it includes a pointed two-light window to the apex and a square-headed door to the left of the gable.

Inside, the church features a quadripartite ribbed stone vaulted roof across five bays. A moulded pointed arch leads to the tower. Deep window reveals incorporate miniature trefoiled ogee head ambulatory openings, approximately 600mm high, designed to duct heated air from concealed radiators. Oak panelling extends up to window cill level, with brattishing at the head. A piscina and sedilia are defined by moulded pointed arches. The pulpit is fronted by a three-sided oak front with carved panels. The font is crafted from marble, with an octagonal shape, trefoils in the panels, and a concave octagonal stand. Substantial pew boxes are of simply cut oak. An oak screen, potentially a later addition, spans six bays either side of the centre, with brattishing and a crested top rail.
