Church of St Constantine

The Church of St. Constantine is an estate church, largely dating from 1883, though incorporating fabric from the 14th century. It was designed by J. Oldrid Scott. The church is constructed of ashlar with a plain tile roof and coped verges. It comprises a west tower, a three-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, and a north-east vestry.

The west tower probably originates from the 14th century with later alterations. It has three stages, a plain parapet and a recessed stone spire. A 19th-century pointed west doorway features two orders on colonettes, with stiff leaf capitals; the inner order is hollow chamfered, and the outer is roll-moulded, with a hood mould featuring foliated stops. The second stage has single-light windows with trefoiled heads, and the belfry stage has pointed lights with Y-tracery and returned hood moulds. The spire has pointed lower lights with Y-tracery, tall crocketed triangular gablets, gargoyles, and foliated finials.

The nave and chancel share a continuous plinth string, stepped downwards from east to west, with buttresses to the east ends of both sections, the chancel buttresses being diagonally placed. Pointed windows feature cusped Y-tracery and hood moulds, with a three-light east window of cusped intersecting tracery. Cast iron guttering and rainwater heads are decorated with foliage and rosettes. The vestry has a two-light transomed north window with trefoiled heads and hood mould, and a west door with a corbelled lintel.

Inside, a segmental pointed tower arch is likely from the 14th century. A pointed chancel arch consists of two quarter-round moulded orders, the inner springing from corbelled responds with moulded capitals. The nave roof is of collar and tie beam construction with cusped arch braces rising to the collar, a central strut between the tie beam and collar with cusped up-braces, and square-set clasped purlins. Blind arcades line the north and south walls of the chancel, featuring keel-moulded shafts, moulded capitals and bases, and pointed arches with quarter-round moulding. The east window has a cusped rere arch springing from colonettes with moulded capitals and bases. A barrel ceiling with foliated bosses covers the chancel. Fittings include a 19th-century octagonal marble font.
