Description
The Church of St Gabriel is a church built in 1869 by Robert Medley Fulford, marking his first church project. It features granite rubble walls with granite dressings and a gable-ended slate roof. The layout includes a nave and chancel, with a north porch.
On the exterior, there are two windows on each side of the nave, each with one and three lights and shouldered heads. A chimney projection is located between the two north windows, cut off above the eaves. The chancel has a single-light cusped window on both the north and south sides, and a three-light east window with cinquefoiled and cusped heads. Above the division between the nave and chancel, there is a belfry at the roof apex, along with another overhanging belfry at the right gable end. The north wall features a lean-to porch with a shouldered-head doorway.
Inside, the chancel arch is corbelled from the walls and made of alternating voissoirs of stone and bricks. The nave has a simple A-frame roof, while the chancel has a common rafter roof. This information is sourced from White's Directory from 1890.
