Description
The Church of St Chad is a parish church dating from 1834, with alterations made around 1880. It was designed by J. Beardmore. The church is constructed from coursed squared and roughly-dressed millstone, with machine tile roofs and verge parapets. It comprises a tower, nave, and chancel.
The tower has three stages, with strings above and below the bell chamber, which is slightly corbelled to a crenellated parapet. It has labelled pointed two-light Y-tracery bell chamber openings. A small entrance porch on the south side provides access to a boarded door. The nave has three and a half bays, divided by two-stage buttresses, and features two-light Tudor-arch windows. A tall shouldered plinth is located between the buttresses in the half bay to the east.
The chancel dates from 1879-81 and has two bays, featuring a three-light Tudor window to the west and a smaller, similar single-light window to the east. The east window is a Tudor-arched, labelled window of three trefoil-headed lights. A gabled vestry is set into the north side of the chancel.
