Former Church Of The Holy Rood (Now Redundant)

The former Church of the Holy Rood, now redundant, features a tower dating from the 13th century, while the rest of the church was rebuilt between 1860 and 1861 by architect Thomas Hicks. The building has stone walls and stone slate roofs with coped gables, comprising a nave, chancel, north porch, and west tower. The tower is two stages high, topped with a pyramidal roof and shallow clasping angle buttresses. It has simple lancet windows, with the upper stage featuring pierced stone panels. The south wall of the nave includes four plain lancet windows, separated by intermediate buttresses, while the chancel has two similar windows. The north elevation mirrors this design but has a porch that replaces one nave window. The porch features a pointed arched doorway with a lancet window above it. Inside, the roof is made of pine in a trussed rafter form, supported by arch-braced trusses. There are some 18th-century graveslabs in the floor, and the chancel arch from the 13th century has been re-set. Most furnishings have been removed. The north wall to the churchyard is made of brick and was the former boundary with The Old Parsonage.
