Description
Magdalene Lodge is a former parish church, dating from 1883, designed by Carpenter and Ingelow and incorporating features from the 15th century. The building is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar quoins and dressings, and has clay-tile roofs with cresting, gable ends, and moulded kneelers. Each gable is topped with a cross-fleury. The layout includes a nave, chancel, and north vestry.
The south wall of the nave has two partly restored 15th-century windows with two trefoiled lights, a quatrefoil in a two-centred head, and a west window of three lights with panel tracery on a two-centred head, with a stopped label above. The chancel features a reused 15th-century single-light window in a square head, also with a label and head-stops. A 20th-century plank door, with lozenge-leaded lights on either side and above, sits within a south doorway into the nave, which has a two-centred arch and moulded jambs. A gabled south porch has side-buttressing with set-offs. In the north wall of the vestry is an early 16th-century window of two four-centred lights with foliated spandrels and moulded reveals. Two 20th-century dormers have been inserted into the north pitch of the nave roof, each with a hipped roof and a sash window.
Internally, the nave and chancel roofs are compartmented barrel vaults from the 19th century, featuring partly renewed 15th-century wall-plates.
