Church of St Mary Magdalene

The Church of St Mary Magdalene is a Grade II* listed building constructed in 1882 by Temple Moore. It is built from dressed sandstone with a lead roof over the south aisle and a Westmorland slate roof over the nave, showcasing the Gothic Revival style. The church features a single cell nave and chancel, with a lean-to south aisle that includes a slightly projecting south door.

At the west end, there are clasping buttresses at the corners and a central pilaster buttress that holds a two-light trefoil-headed window with quatrefoil tracery. Above this, a bellcote features two Tudor-arched bell-openings topped with a pinnacle, lucarnes, and crockets. The south wall of the nave has a small single light trefoil-headed window to the left of the door, which is a board door set beneath a pointed arch with a hoodmould and label-stops, slightly projecting from the line of the south aisle. To the right of the door are two square-headed two-light cusped aisle windows, and there is a square-headed two-light cusped window in the chancel. The east window is a traceried three-light pointed design. The roof of the south aisle has a very shallow pitch with gable coping, while the nave and chancel have steeply-pitched roofs also with gable coping.

Inside, the nave and chancel are covered by a single painted wagon roof. The south aisle has pillars supporting the nave and features a painted roof. The interior fittings are very simple, including a font, wooden pews, a reading desk, a carved and painted wooden reredos, and iron light fittings.

Recent research indicates that this church was one of the last buildings designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott Jnr, with construction supervised by Temple Moore, who had been Scott's pupil and had established his own practice by this time.
