Church of St Stephen

The Church of St Stephen is a former parish church that was rebuilt in 1821 on a medieval site. It features herringbone-tooled sandstone with ashlar dressings and has a purple slate roof. The building is designed in a Gothick style and consists of a single-cell preaching box with a small sanctuary. Early additions include a south porch and a north vestry.

The open-pedimented porch has a segment-arched entrance with rusticated voussoirs, and above it is a sundial with dates from 1736, 1864, and 1919, along with various initials. Inside, there are wood side benches and a wide six-panel double door with an interlaced fanlight, with the keystone largely concealed by the barrel vault of the porch.

The five-bay nave features pointed-arched windows with glazing bars and interlaced heads, all resting on a cill band, except for a shorter window above the door. There is a small square-headed door in the south chancel wall, and the east window is similar, flanked by large stepped diagonal buttresses. The north nave wall has three short windows similar to the one above the door, which light the gallery. The vestry contains a 15-pane fixed light with two opening panes. The west bell-cupola had only its damaged wood frame remaining at the time of survey.

Inside, the church has complete late Georgian fittings, including a panelled gallery around the north and west sides that rests on Roman Doric columns. The lateral south pulpit features a sounding board and stairs with turned balusters and a ramped handrail. There are complete box pews, including one named for the Farsyde family, which displays their coat of arms. Various memorial tablets commemorate the Farsyde family, and there is a small early 18th-century font with a low, conical open cover.
