Description
The Church of St Hedda is a Roman Catholic parish church built between 1866 and 1867, with some minor alterations made in the 20th century. It was designed by Hadfield & Sons of Sheffield. The church features a nave, side aisles, chancel, and eastern apse, all covered by a single roof. The exterior is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings, topped with Welsh slate roofs and terracotta ridge tiles. Notable architectural details include a chamfered plinth, sill band, and chamfered eaves band.
The west front showcases a large pointed archway with setoffs, leading to a small gabled bell-cote adorned with a cross finial. The central pointed arch doorway is flanked by single columns and features a moulded arch with a hood mould. Above this doorway is a circular window with cusped plate tracery. The north front includes a single doorway with a flat head set in a pointed arch surround, and to the east, there are five tall lancet windows. The east end is curved and has five high-set lancets, with a curved roof topped by an iron cross finial. The south front features a small, slightly projecting gabled chapel with buttresses and a single 2-light pointed arched window with plate tracery and a quatrefoil. Beyond this chapel are five single lancets, and to the east is a lower projecting chapel with a chamfered end.
Inside, the church has five bay nave arcades and narrow passage aisles, with chamfered arches supported by alternating octagonal and circular piers, plus circular responds. There is a west organ gallery, and the wooden barrel vaulted roof is decorated with stencilling. The interior also retains original wooden pews, a carved octagonal pulpit, and an ashlar circular font. The chancel apse features later wooden dado panelling and painted murals above it, along with an elaborate German reredos.
