Parish Church Of Unknown Dedication

The parish church, of unknown dedication, was built around 1857 by G. Gilbert Scott. It is constructed of coursed squared rubble with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs, gabled over the nave and apsidal over the chancel. Stone copings define the roofline. The church's design is generally in the late 13th century "Second Pointed" style.

The plan includes a west bell turret, nave, a south chapel/vestry, and an apsidal chancel. The octagonal, three-stage bell turret has lancet windows with stone louvres on the second stage, with buttresses alternating on the faces. It is topped by a wrought iron cross. The nave windows are of three lights, set within segmental arches with labels featuring head stops. The chapel has a narrow window with geometric tracery under a two-centred arch, also with labels and head stops, accompanied by an east-facing lancet. A two-light window with a quatrefoil is located on the west side. The chancel has lancets with trefoils and two-light windows under two-centred arches, incorporating quatrefoils. South-facing windows of the porch and chapel are gabled. The porch has a moulded two-centred arch rising from round columns, with a label and carved stops. Weathered buttresses are visible along the wall. Inside the porch is a two-centred niche containing a charity box, lit by two trefoils. The inner door has a two-centred head with continuously moulded jambs and a label with carved foliage stops.

Inside, the west arch is moulded, springing from half-columns with moulded capitals supported on corbels carved with foliage. The chapel arcade has two bays with two-centred arches springing from a massive central column with richly carved foliage capitals. Respond corbels are also carved with foliage. The two-centred moulded chancel arch springs from three marble, three-quarter columns with capitals richly carved. The chancel features rere-arches with marble columns and matching vaulting shafts. A shouldered doorway leads to the pulpit. The nave roof is a four-bay structure with arched scissor braced principals on corbels and scissor braced common rafters on ashlar pieces. The chancel has a ribbed stone vault decorated with carved bosses. A stone pulpit, dating from around 1860, is decorated with carved quatrefoils, foliage, and ballflower motifs. A 15th-century octagonal stone font sits on a 19th-century base. The pews and other fittings date from the 19th century. Monuments include a brass plate to Mary Argenton (1616) in the chapel, a tablet with mourning figures to Cathrine (Feaver) Loffus (1842) by E.H. Bailey, and a tablet to John Feaver (1788) in the nave. The stone carving was undertaken by Farmer and Brindley.
