Description

The Church of St Alban, built in 1889 by Bucknall and Comper, features a chancel and vestries added by Comper in 1894. It is designed in the Perpendicular style and constructed from red brick with stone dressings and tile roof coverings. The nave consists of six bays with north and south aisles, and the arcades are formed by moulded equilateral arches that die into square piers. The west wall has two pointed arches leading into the narthex. The chancel is made up of three wider bays, including an ambulatory and a south chapel. The church has three storeys and a hammer-beam roof, with stained glass in the east window created by Comper, marking this as his first church.
