Description

The Church of St Margaret is a church built in 1862 by Griffin, featuring a brick tower from 1677 that has an 18th-century spire, which was encased in sandstone in 1893. The church is constructed of limestone rubble with red sandstone dressings and has a tiled roof. It includes a west tower, a nave with north and south aisles under pitched roofs, a lower chancel, and a north vestry.

The tower has angle buttresses, a moulded pointed west door with a clock face above, and moulded pointed bell openings with two trefoiled lights. A banded stone spire with lucarnes is set back behind an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. The windows feature pointed heads and Geometric tracery. The west windows of the aisles consist of three lights. The south aisle has five bays separated by buttresses, with two-light windows except for the right-hand one, which is a single light. The left-hand bay is covered by mid-20th-century extensions. The north aisle also has five bays with two-light windows. The nave includes timber dormers. The east window of the south aisle has two lights, the chancel window has three lights, and the north aisle features a round east window.

Inside, the four-bay nave arcades have round columns with foliated capitals and pointed arches that are chamfered in two orders. The open roof has arch-braced trusses supported by carved stone corbels. The pointed chancel arch springs from responds that are carried on angel corbels. Arches lead from the chancel into a north organ chamber and a south chapel. The windows contain glass from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The alabaster pulpit was designed by Walter Tapper, RA.
