Church Of St Gabriel

The Church of St Gabriel is a church built between 1872 and 1874 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, designed in a late 13th-century style. It is constructed from squared rock-faced stone and features a slate roof. The church includes a nave with a clerestorey, north and south aisles, a north porch, a north-east tower, and a lower chancel.

The tower consists of three stages with angle buttresses and is topped by a stone spire that has three rows of lucarnes. The bell openings are pointed and feature clustered shafts with two lights and quatrefoils. The middle stage has an arcade of three blind pointed arches, with a lancet window in the center. The north window has two lancet lights under a pointed head, while the aisles, which are five bays long, have windows with two lancet lights. The clerestorey windows are round and cinquefoiled.

The north porch, located in the western bay, is made of timber and has scalloped bargeboards. At the west end of the nave, there is a moulded pointed doorway and two windows, each with two lancet lights and a trefoil under a pointed head. The chancel windows consist of two lancet lights with cinquefoils, and the east window features five lights with tracery.

Inside, the church has four-bay arcades with pointed arches that are chamfered in two orders, resting on octagonal piers with moulded capitals. Both arcades include a narrower fifth arch at the west end. The chancel arch is moulded and pointed. The nave roof has raised tie-beams, crown-posts, and soulaces to the collars, with secondary plates and ashlar pieces at tie-beam level. The chancel floor is made of encaustic tiles and features an alabaster reredos designed by Clayton and Bell, made by Powell's, flanked by tiles with floral patterns. An organ is set within an arch on the north side. The east window contains late 19th-century glass depicting Christ and the four Evangelists.
