Church Of St Margaret

The Church of St Margaret, built in 1845, is possibly designed by H.P. Horner. It features dressed stone with ashlar window dressings and a slate roof. The church comprises a nave, a chancel with a south tower, and a north vestry. The three-bay nave has a three-light west window with Decorated tracery and angle buttresses, topped with a gable cross. The north and south facades are adorned with cusped lancets set between weathered buttresses. The south porch is gabled, featuring a sundial dated 1856 and a cross, along with clasping buttresses and a plain-chamfered pointed entrance.

The tower is characterized by deep weathered diagonal buttresses and a corbelled-out embattled parapet. A canted stair turret is located to the west on a square base, with clasping buttresses and a small entrance. The west side has a two-light window, while the second stage includes cusped lancets on the south and east sides. The bell stage features two trefoil-headed louvred bell-openings on each side. The chancel contains a three-light east window, angle buttresses, and a gable cross, similar to the east gable of the nave. The octagonal vestry has a swept pyramidal roof and cross, with small trefoil-headed lights on the east and north-west sides.

Inside, the church boasts a waggon roof with ashlaring, a plain chancel arch, and arches leading to the vestry and organ loft under the tower. The stalls on the north side have tracery panels, which are also present on the reredos. The east window features good stained glass. Canon Rawnsley, a founder of the National Trust, served as an incumbent of this church.
