Church Of St Katherine

The Church of St Katherine is an Anglican parish church located in Sedgehill, with origins dating back to the 14th century, along with additions from the 15th and 17th centuries, and a restoration in 1882. It is built from dressed limestone and features a Welsh slate roof with coped verges. The church consists of a west tower, a nave, a chancel with a lower roof, and a south porch.

The gabled porch includes a chamfered semi-circular-headed doorway, a coped verge, and a cross finial. Above the door is a stone tablet from the 18th century that records the names of churchwardens, although the date is illegible. The porch has 19th-century double doors with ornamental hinges. The nave features three 19th-century two-light geometric style windows, with two on the right and one on the left of the porch. The chancel has 19th-century cusped lancets on both the north and south sides, diagonal buttresses, and an original 14th-century three-light east window with reticulated tracery.

On the north side of the nave, there are two 19th-century two-light windows to the left of an 1880s organ chamber, which has a cusped lancet, and one two-light window to the right. The three-stage 15th-century tower has a moulded plinth, diagonal buttresses, and offset string courses. The north side features a chamfered light at the middle stage, while the west side has a recessed chamfered Tudor-arched doorway with 19th-century double doors and a three-light Perpendicular window above. The bell stage includes two-light 15th-century louvred windows, and the south side has cusped lights. There is an attached rectangular stair turret on the south side with loopholes and a plain parapet supported by clasping buttresses.

Inside, the nave has a six-bay 19th-century roof with tie-beam or collar trusses, and a 15th-century moulded pointed tower arch. The 1880s north organ chamber features a moulded arch on half-cone corbels, and a brass plaque on the north wall of the nave commemorates the restoration and installation of the organ in 1882 by the Vesey family. The chancel has a 19th-century pointed chancel arch, a two-bay 19th-century braced collar truss roof, and a polychrome tiled floor. Notable fittings include a 19th-century octagonal stone font in the tower, a polygonal wooden pulpit, and 19th-century seating. The chancel also contains 1880s stained glass in the east, south, and north windows, dedicated to members of the Vesey family, along with a 19th-century communion rail and panelling in a 17th-century style.
