Church Of The Ascension

The Church of the Ascension was built in 1838 and enlarged in 1875. It originally featured a plain wide nave with shallow transepts and a chancel, along with a western tower. The church was extended eastwards with the addition of a long chancel, a south aisle, and a north vestry. It has a slate roof. The older part of the church is constructed with square knapped flints and stone dressings, featuring lancet windows in the nave and coupled windows with hood-moulds in the transepts. The western tower has three stages, corner buttresses, and a western entrance door. Inside, the plain interior includes hammer-beam trusses with cusp-headed rails. The later additions are in a rich Perpendicular style, characterized by stepped buttresses, traceried windows, and rough flint walling with stone dressings. The interior features a chancel screen made of open traceried timber work above a stone dado wall, along with steps, stalls, a communion rail, sedilia, and a brass eagle lectern.
