Church Of St Saviour

The Church of St Saviour is a Grade II listed church, consecrated in 1899 and designed by H. S. Legg and Sons in a 14th-century style. It is constructed from coursed snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs. The church comprises a nave and aisles, with a tall spired tower located at the north-west angle, a chancel and vestry to the east, and church rooms to the south.

At the west end, there is a narthex supported by buttresses, with a gabled entrance bay at the center flanked by a 5-light window on either side. The entrance features double doors set in a moulded surround with jamb shafts beneath foliate-stopped hood moulds. Above, a large west window showcases 3-light Decorated-style tracery and a trefoil pattern roundel window in a deep surround, with chequerwork patterning in the gable apex.

The south-west corner has an ashlared angle turret, while the prominent three-stage tower on the north-west corner is adorned with offset gableted and turreted buttresses. The upper stage of the tower is ashlared, with two louvred openings on each face and a clock dial in the gable between. Each face of the middle stage features a lancet window, and the ground floor stage has a gabled entrance facing west, which is now glazed-in, under a hood mould and oval panel. The tower is topped with a thin needle spire that has two tiers of gablets and a cross finial.

The south side of the church has five bays, each with 3-light, foiled-headed windows set under shallow chamfered arches, alternating with buttresses. Above, spherical triangle windows are present in the clerestory on both sides. The east gable of the aisle has a steep-roofed vestry beyond it.

Inside, the church features a panelled waggon roof over the nave with a trefoil-panel pierced wall plate. The aisle arcades consist of round red sandstone piers alternating with octagonal piers across six bays. The chancel, elevated on a higher level, has a two-bay layout with 19th-century fittings, including a carved reredos with crocketed ogee tracery panels, along with a stone font and pulpit.
