Description
The Church of St Godwald is an Anglican church built between 1883 and 1884 by John Cotton. It is constructed from red sandstone ashlar with Bath stone dressings and features clay plain tile roofs with coped gable ends. The church is designed in the Victorian Gothic style, reminiscent of around 1300, and includes a nave, chancel, south transept with a vestry in the east angle, and a south porch with a bellcote.
The exterior of the church showcases 2-light windows with Geometric tracery on the south side of the nave and plate tracery on the north side. The south transept features a large 2-light Geometric traceried window flanked by lancets, and a similar window is located on the west end of the nave. The chancel's east window consists of three lights with Geometric tracery, while the south porch is topped with a timber bellcote.
Inside, the church has yellow brick walls, some of which are painted over. The nave roof is supported by a 3-bay structure with arches and scissor braces resting on carved stone corbels. There is a moulded stone chancel arch and a 2-bay arcade leading to the south transept. The chancel roof is of common rafter and collar design. The seating includes intact choir stalls and an altar rail. Notable interior features include a Gothic carved stone reredos from 1924 by Celestino Pancheri, an ornate marble Gothic font from 1897, and a D-Day memorial by Robert Pancheri. The east window is adorned with stained glass, and there is also a window by A.E. Lemmon in the south transept.
