Description

St Margaret's Church is a former parish church, now unused and repurposed as a gymnasium. It dates from the 14th and 15th centuries and is constructed of flint with stone and brick dressings, topped with a slate roof. The church features a west tower, a nave, and a chancel with a south aisle, along with north and south porches. There is a rood-stair turret on the north side and a 19th-century vestry located to the north of the chancel.

The tower is four stages high, with diagonal buttresses on the first three stages. It has a 20th-century west door and window, square sound holes, and two-light belfry windows adorned with decorated tracery. The tower is capped with a crenellated parapet. At the west end of the aisle, there is a two-storey south porch that features attached shafts and a two-centre arch with carved spandrels leading to the outer door. Above the porch, there is a central statue niche flanked by square-headed windows at the first floor.

Inside, there is a simple tierceron-vault. The aisle contains two four-light perpendicular windows with four-centre arches, while the two-bay chancel has three-light windows with cusped intersecting tracery and four-centre arches. The east window is a three-light window from the 19th century. The arcade piers are octagonal with concave sides and four-centre arches, leading to the tower and chancel arches. The roof has a shallow pitch with single butt-purlins and curved braces that spring from wall-posts supported on corbels. The south aisle roof features wheel tracery spandrels.
