Description

Magg's Day Centre is a parish church that has been converted into a day centre. It dates back to the 12th century, with later additions and alterations, including restorations from around 1821 to 1850. The building is constructed from coursed red and green sandstone and features a double pitch slate and plain tile roof.

This small church consists of a continuous three-bay nave and a single-bay chancel, along with a north aisle. Its architectural styles include Norman, Early English, and neo-Norman elements. The exterior has a chamfered plinth, and the entrance on the south side features a round-arched doorway with one order of columns that have cushion capitals and roll-moulding at the head, all of which have been renewed, along with a plank door. There are two round-arched windows with slender columns and roll-moulding, which have also been renewed, with a blocked narrow opening between them and a large intel. The east end of the church has three stepped lancets in the chancel, an oculus above, and a lancet window in the aisle. The west end features two renewed trefoil-headed lancets with a continuous hoodmould and a small rose window above. The west gable has a bell cote, and the gable ends are coped.

Inside, the north arcade is Late Norman, featuring round piers and round abaci, double-chamfered arches, one scalloped capital, and one flat-leaf capital, with nailhead ornament in the hoodmould, mostly recut. The floor is probably covered with Victorian tiles.

The church contains several notable monuments, including a wall monument to Marci, wife of William Wyatt, who died in 1595; a wall monument to Edmund Wyatt, who died in 1711, featuring a cartouche with winged cherubs and drapery; and another wall tablet from around 1796.

Magg's Day Centre is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
