Church Of St Gregory

The Church of St Gregory is a church that was rebuilt in 1844 after a fire, designed by J B and W Atkinson. It is constructed from squared limestone with a tooled plinth, tooled dressings, and a slate roof. The church features a west bellcote, a 5-bay nave, and a north vestry, along with an apsidal chancel.

At the west end, there is a central offset buttress flanked by round-headed windows set in quoined surrounds with coved hoodmoulds. The buttress extends to full height and supports the base of the gabled bellcote. The bellcote has twin round-arched, roll-moulded openings beneath coved hoodmoulds, and a central shaft with a scalloped capital. The gable apex contains a chevron-edged oculus that encloses a recessed quatrefoil.

The nave features a south door located in a slightly projecting, pent-roofed porch, with double board doors beneath a round, roll-moulded arch on shafts with scalloped capitals, and a chamfered hoodmould. There is a single window to the west and three to the east, similar to those at the west end, with a chamfered eaves course. On the north side, a gabled vestry projects from the east end bay, with the other bays containing similar windows, two of which are separated by a full-height offset buttress. The east half-hexagonal apse has a window on each side and a half-hexagonal pointed roof. The north vestry has a single window, and a chimney stack rises at the base of the nave roof behind the vestry. The gables are coped and feature a cross at the west end.

Inside, there is a 12th-century font on a pedestal with nailhead moulding around the base. There is also a wall tablet dedicated to Captain George Lee (died 1794), made of stone with relief carving and incised lettering highlighted in black.
