Church Of St Simon And St Jude

The Church of St Simon and St Jude is a Chapel of Ease built in 1868 by Slater and Carpenter. It is constructed from coursed, squared rubble and features a gable-ended, tiled roof with stone copings. The layout includes a nave, an apsidal chancel, north and south aisles, a west tower, and a north vestry or organ chamber. The design is generally in the early 'Decorated' style.

The west tower consists of three stages and has a broach spire, square set buttresses, and a southern vice. It features a two-centred west window with geometric tracery and a label with headstops, small lancets in the second stage, and paired lancets with roll-mouldings and pierced stone panels in the third stage. The spire is adorned with quatrefoils. The aisles contain trefoiled, paired lancets, while the east and west aisle windows have two-centred heads and plate tracery. The chancel has lancets with trefoiled heads and labels with head-stops.

There is a gabled porch with a two-centred moulded arch and shafted jambs with carved capitals. The inner doorway is roll-moulded and features a door with scrolled, wrought-iron hinges, while the external vice door is similar. Inside, the church has three-bay arcades with two-centred heads of two-chamfered orders and round piers with carved capitals. The chancel arch is two-centred and moulded, with shafted jambs that have carved capitals and a label with head-stops above. The tower arch is also two-centred and moulded, with a flat soffit and semi-pilasters with carved capitals on the jambs.

The nave roof features arch-braced collar trusses that spring from corbels, with queenposts and windbracing to the upper purlins, as well as two sets of windbraced purlins. The chancel has a ribbed, boarded barrel-vault roof, and the aisle roofs are boarded. The roofs are painted with fleurons and other decorative elements. Notable internal features include an arcaded stone pulpit with marble shafts dated 1887, a round font with clustered shafts, and pews with carved bench ends. The church also contains 19th and 20th-century glass.
