Church Of St Helen

The Church of St Helen is a parish church built in 1885 by Henry Lloyd. It features rock-faced snecked rubble with stone dressings, plain tiled roofs with ridge coping, raised coped verges, kneelers, and cross finials. The church includes a west tower, nave, chancel, south porch, and north vestry, all designed in the Decorated style.

The three-stage tower has a pointed arched door with a drip mould and relieving arch, along with a three-light window above it. There are two-light windows at the second and third stages, all featuring drip moulds and relieving arches, with bell louvres at the third stage. The south side of the tower has a clock at the second stage and a stair turret with slit windows, topped by a spire with a weathervane and a battlemented, pinnacled top, along with weathered string courses and buttresses.

The five-bay nave includes three windows on the north side and two on the south, all three-light. The three-bay chancel has a three-light east window and a two-light window to the south, with shaped corbels and weathered buttresses. The porch has a pointed arched door similar to that of the tower, while the vestry features a door in a plain chamfered surround and a lancet window.

Inside, the nave has an arch-brace and collar roof with shaped stone stops on the arch-braces. There is a tall pointed arch in a chamfered surround leading to the tower and a wider pointed arch in the same style leading to the chancel. The windows have splayed reveals, and the south door is in a segmental headed chamfered surround. The chancel roof is constructed similarly, with a pointed arched door to the vestry.

Notable interior features include a 19th-century stone pulpit in the Decorated style, which is six-sided with marble shafts at the base and clustered marble shafts at the edges, and a Norman bowl font with scalloped faces, which was removed from the old Church of St Helen. There are also early Victorian royal arms present.
