Description

The Church of St Boniface is a Chapel of Ease, built around 1870 with later 19th-century additions. It is constructed from snecked volcanic stone with sandstone dressings and features red tile roofs with alternating bands of plain and shaped tiles. The small, gable-ended church faces north and consists of a taller chancel section, which represents the original build, and a lower nave and north porch, both of which appear to have been added later. The architectural style is mixed Gothic.

The porch at the right end of the nave has a depressed 2-centred segmental arch and a gabled tiled roof with shaped crested ridge tiles. To the left of the porch, there are two nave windows that are 2-light wooden casements, each with square-headed sandstone surrounds and chamfered reveals. A large buttress marks the break between the nave and chancel, with the roof stepping up to a steeper pitch, featuring coping and a chimney stack at the apex.

The chancel includes a single sandstone trefoil-headed lancet window, and its roof is adorned with crested ridge tiles. The east end showcases a sandstone 2-light window with early Decorated-style tracery and a hoodmould. The gable features kneelers, coping, and a cross fleury at the apex. At the west end, the nave ridge extends over a small bellcote supported by raking struts, and the gable has bargeboards with blind trefoil tracery that wraps around the bellcote.

Inside, the church has a plain interior with a 3-bay king post roof in the nave and a 3-bay arch-braced roof in the chancel, separated by an undecorated arch and a panelled chancel screen. The chancel is laid with Minton tiles, and original furnishings include pews, a pulpit, and altar end stalls.
