Description
This church, dedicated to St Jude the Apostle with St Matthias-on-the-Weir, was built in 1849, designed by SB Gabriel. It is constructed from squared Pennant rubble with limestone dressings and a tiled roof. The building comprises a chancel, a southeast chapel, an aisled nave, and a southwest tower. The architectural style is Decorated Gothic Revival.
The two-bay chancel features a late 19th-century south vestry with a square-headed window of two ogee-headed lights and a door with strap hinges, and an early 20th-century southeast chapel with reticulated tracery in the south window and a wide door with label stops carved as stylized heads. The four-bay north aisle has two-light windows with reticulated tracery, separated by short buttresses. The south aisle has a corbel table with gableted kneelers carved with heads to the gable coping. The west doorway features one order of shafts with moulded capitals and head stops.
The three-stage tower has diagonal buttresses and a square-sided southeast stair tower to the second stage. A deep, splayed west doorway has three orders with foliate stops, and a door with elaborate hinges. Above the doorway is a three-light window, and a two-light belfry window has open reticulated tracery to the upper part and a panel of pierced roundels below. At the top of the tower is a corbel table with corner gargoyles, tall crocketed pinnacles, and an open parapet of quatrefoils and cusped waves.
The interior was not inspected and the building was reportedly used as a store at the time of survey.
