St Etheldredas Church

St Etheldreda's Church is a church dating back to the 12th century. The chancel and central tower were remodelled in the 13th and 14th centuries, with the nave constructed in the 13th century. A clerestory was added around 1320, the south aisle was enlarged in the 14th century, and a south porch was added during the same period. The north aisle was rebuilt in the 15th century, incorporating the 13th-century doorway and 15th-century windows. A west window was renewed in the 17th century, with 17th and 18th-century repairs following, and the church was restored in 1915 by William Weir.

The church is built of squared coursed ironstone, with steeply pitched stone slate roofs and a stone corner stack. It comprises a chancel, central tower, nave, north and south aisles, and a south porch. The main body of the church has seven window bays. The chancel's south side features a priest's doorway with a plank door, pointed arched head and hood mould, flanked by three-light, Decorated windows with ogee arched hood moulds. The five-light east window has intersecting tracery and a hood mould. Two three-light Decorated windows are present on the north side of the chancel. The central tower is of three stages with a crenellated parapet and diagonal buttresses, featuring 12th-century openings to the third stage and single and two-light Perpendicular windows on the south.

The nave clerestory has four Perpendicular windows with square heads on the north and south sides, alongside a parapet. The south aisle displays three-light Decorated windows featuring reticulated and wheel tracery, and a two-light Perpendicular window with a square head, hood mould and label stops. A gabled south porch has a pointed arched doorway with a south door featuring two attached 13th-century columns with bell capitals. The north aisle incorporates a re-sited 13th-century doorway, along with three three-light Perpendicular windows retaining hood moulds and label stops. The nave's west window is a 17th-century replacement, and the west doorway dates back to the 13th century.

Internally, the chancel has a 19th-century King strut roof, alongside 12th-century piscinas and an aumbry with a round arch having roll moulding. The Decorated chancel arch consists of two chamfered orders. The nave features a four-bay 19th-century King strut roof and four-bay arcades with arches of two chamfered orders on alternating round and octagonal piers. A screen and roof loft, created by Lawrence Dale between 1947 and 1950, are also present, alongside an 18th-century organ, a 12th-century tub-shaped font, and notable wall paintings, including a circa 1450 depiction of St. Christopher in the north aisle. Post-Reformation texts are located on the south wall. The tower contains two arched tomb recesses and a brass dating back to around 1500 depicting a man and woman with six daughters and several sons. Fragments of early glass are found in both the north and south aisles, with early 15th-century examples in the north aisle. A 19th-century pine pulpit and pews complete the interior.
