Church of St Matthew

The Church of St Matthew is an Anglican parish church with a 15th-century west tower. The nave and aisles were rebuilt in 1832-1833, the north porch was added in 1871, and the medieval chancel was raised and re-roofed in 1901-1902. The church is constructed of ashlar stone with slate roofs and features embattled parapets, which were previously topped with pinnacles.

The three-stage tower has string courses, two-light bell openings, an embattled parapet, and corner pinnacles. The west side features a three-light window from 1871 that replaced the original west door. There is a stair tower on the south side. The nave has three flat-headed clerestory windows set between diagonal shafts, with bases for former pinnacles. The aisles have buttresses that support similar pinnacle bases, with chamfered angles and pointed two-light windows that include hoodmoulds. The south aisle has three windows, while the five-bay north aisle includes a northeast organ chamber and features three similar windows alternating with two red sandstone-shafted doorways from 1871, the right one set in a gabled timber and ashlar porch. The chancel is embattled and made of squared rubble stone, with a two-light pointed window on the south side, a three-light east window likely from 1871, and a windowless north side.

Inside, there are three-bay arcades from 1832-1833, a shallow pitched roof supported by corbels, and flat roofs over the aisles. The tower arch is two-hollow with a timber screen added in 1887, and the chancel arch is shafted. The chancel roof, carved from timber in 1901, features angel supporters. There is an arch on the north side leading to the organ chamber.

Furnishings include stained glass in the east window from 1886, the south aisle east window from 1881, and good quality nave and west windows dating to around 1871-1875. The plain 15th-century style font was given in 1850 by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt, an architect originally from Rowde. The timber pulpit on a stone base dates to 1872, and the reredos from 1901 features carved figures added in 1910. Some 17th-century plaques have been reset on the north wall to honor the Webb family, and there is a monument on the chancel's south wall dedicated to T. Spencer, who died in 1765.
