Former Church of St Clement

The former Church of St Clement, now residential flats, was built between 1864 and 1865. Designed by George Gilbert Scott for George Cubitt M.P., it is constructed of brown and yellow brick laid in English bond, with dressings of red and yellow gauged brick and stone, and a slate roof. The building comprises a chancel, a north-east vestry (now altered), a nave, north and south aisles, a north porch, and a bellcote to the west gable.

The external walls generally feature bands of yellow brick, and the pointed-arched openings have chamfered reveals and heads of red and yellow gauged brick, designed to resemble voussoirs. The east end has three lancet windows of equal height, with two orders of slim columns and hoodmoulds. Between the windows are five-sided brick piers with capitals, intended to support statues, with gabled niches above and quatrefoiled roundels to either side. A vesica-shaped window is positioned between the niches, and there is a quatrefoiled roundel in the gable. Angle buttresses have two offsets. The east window of the south aisle is similar in design. The south aisle has six bays, each with three lancets and buttresses between the second, third, and fourth bays. The clerestory follows a similar design, with shallower arches and an inner order of chamfered stone piers, and a moulded corbel table. The north aisle originally had seven bays, but is now unroofed and unwindowed, with the four western bays rebuilt. The north porch has entrances to the east and west, with a pair of columns supporting an inner order, and a further entrance to the former north aisle, also with a moulded stone order. Original doors retain elaborate wrought-iron hinges.

The west end features a broad central entrance flanked by lower, narrower entrances on either side, all under gabled canopies. Four buttresses flank the entrances, with the outer ones rising to the gable kneeler and the inner ones rising in five offsets into the bellcote. The west windows consist of a pair of lancets flanked by slim columns with a quatrefoil above, all under a double-ordered arch, with a single lancet under a triple-ordered arch to either side. A vesica-shaped niche above the central windows originally contained a statue, presumably of St Clement. The bell stage has two trefoiled openings under pointed arches, with a single, similar opening above.

The interior of the building is now occupied by residential flats.
