Church Of St Jude

The Church of St Jude was built between 1867 and 1869, with a later 19th-century spire designed by T.H.Fleeming. It is constructed of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and tile roofs. The church includes a chancel, a north organ loft, a south vestry, a four-bay nave with transepts and lean-to aisles, and a south-west steeple. The architectural style is Decorated Gothic.

The chancel has a coped gable and shallow offset buttresses, with a four-light east window and a traceried lancet to the north. The gabled organ loft features a two-light window. The vestry has a gablet, a three-light window, and a stack to the east. The transepts both have four-light windows, while the aisles have two-light windows between shallow offset buttresses. The north aisle has a three-light window to the west of the gabled porch and a two-light west window. The clerestories have two-light segmental-pointed windows. The four-light west window has a trefoil above and a gable cross.

The four-stage tower has angle buttresses and a south-west stair turret. The west entrance has one order on squat shafts, and a south two-light window with plate tracery, with weathering above. The second stage features lancets, the third stage has roundels as clock faces, and the top stage has two-light louvred bell openings. The top of the tower has an openwork parapet with pinnacles and flying buttresses leading to an octagonal spire.

Inside, the chancel arch has short corbelled shafts, and the roof is supported by scissor trusses. An arcading runs along the east wall, with a central reredos incorporating a roof and gablet on marble shafts, flanked by panels depicting the Creed and Commandments. A timber altar is present. The nave arcades are supported on round, polished granite piers with stiff leaf capitals, and the transepts have arches of a similar style. There is a 20th-century false ceiling and low glazed screens to the west. The stalls have arcaded fronts, and there is a brass altar rail. A timber pulpit sits on a stone base, featuring parquetry in the arcading and a bowed seat to the left. A brass lectern, with angels on pinnacles, is also present. The octagonal font is set on a squat pier with richly carved arcading. Stained glass is featured in the east and west windows. The chancel south wall memorializes Mary Davis (died 1886) with a richly carved Gothic aedicule. The south transept contains a war memorial.
