Church Of The Holy Jesus

The Church of the Holy Jesus is a parish church built in 1851 by Henry Woodyer. It features coursed rubble stone and a tiled roof. The structure includes a west tower flanked by lean-to structures and a gabled south porch. The nave has a clerestory and single-storey aisles, while the chancel has a lower roofline than the nave. The three-stage tower has string courses and a corbel table beneath a saddleback roof. It has a large ogee opening with four arches in the first stage, featuring two centre lights, a single pointed light in the second stage, and a twin light with pointed trefoil tracery at the belfry level, along with a single light in the gable of the roof. Clasped stepped buttresses are present at the west end and are cut off in the nave roof. The nave is five bays wide and has small pointed trefoil twin lights in the clerestory. The aisles contain two- and three-light windows with decorated Geometric tracery, and there is a single stepped buttress towards the east. The chancel has three similar twin light windows and a five-light window at the east end featuring a cusped star of David.

Inside, the church boasts an elaborate timber roof with scissor-beam trusses and wind bracing, along with pointed arcades supported by cylindrical columns. The chancel features stone diapering on the reredos wall, a wooden altar rail with pierced arches and trefoil decoration, and double sedilia beneath a traceried rere-arch of the easternmost window on the south side. The original pews remain in the nave and aisles, and there is a stone font in the southwest corner with ogee decoration and a wooden cover featuring a pierced and gabled design.
