Church Of St Wilfred

The Church of St. Wilfred is a 14th-century church, substantially restored in 1873. It is constructed of regular coursed and ashlar red sandstone, with a late 19th-century timber-framed porch having rendered infill. The chancel and porch have old plain-tile roofs; the chancel roof has a coped gable parapet with gablet kneelers, while the nave roof is hidden behind a moulded cornice and parapet. The church comprises a chancel, nave, west tower, and south porch.

The chancel has diagonal buttresses and a three-light east window with cusped intersecting tracery. The south doorway is of two moulded ogee orders, with a hood mould and plank door. A small, square window sits above the doorway. Two-light, straight-headed windows are located to the south-west. On the north side are three two-light windows, each progressively taller, with a stepped sill course and varying tracery. The porch has double-leaf, four-centred, four-panelled doors and an unglazed overlight. Inside, the doorway is of chamfered orders, and features a 19th-century door. A painted sundial is above and to the right of the porch. The nave has buttresses to the east and west, and a three-light window of three cusped lancets to the south-east. An octagonal stack is visible in the east corner of the north side, beneath a small straight-headed window of two ogee lights. A blocked doorway is present, with a window above featuring a round-arched light within a straight head. The western window is round-arched.

The two-stage tower has a splay course and diagonal buttresses. The 19th-century west window incorporates cusped Y-tracery, while the bell chamber has renewed louvred openings with tracery. A moulded cornice and embattled parapet top the tower.

Inside, the chancel has a late 19th-century painted and stencilled panelled ceiling, while the nave boasts a boarded ceiling. The chancel arch is of continuous chamfered and moulded orders, dating to the late 19th century. Fittings include a late 19th-century panelled dado, reredos, screen, altar rails, and a font. Stained glass, including some 14th-century glass, is found in the chancel's north-west window. A 14th-century tomb recess with two segmental pointed moulded orders, a restored hood mould, and a recumbent effigy of a priest is located in the north side of the chancel.
