Description

The Church of St Margaret is a Grade II* listed building that underwent rebuilding and enlargement in 1864, transforming a 13th-century chapel designed by T H Rushforth. Additional transepts were added between 1904 and 1910. The church is constructed from coursed rubble limestone with gritstone dressings and some tufa used in the tower. It features coped gables and slate roofs laid in diminishing courses.

The layout includes a west tower, south porch, nave, chancel, and north and south transepts with a sanctuary. The square, unbuttressed tower, which is partially from the 13th century, has single light openings with trefoils beneath flat hoods on the first, third, and fourth stages. The west wall of the tower features a 13th-century pointed arched window with a trefoil head. The tower is topped with a 'helm' roof similar to that of Sompting in Sussex, adorned with decorative banded slating.

The south porch has a doorway with a pointed arch, a coped gable, and a slated roof. The nave consists of three bays with a buttressed east end, featuring 2-light openings with trefoil heads beneath depressed arches. The transepts are single bay structures that include trefoil-headed lancets and 2-light gable windows with decorative style tracery beneath hoodmoulds with carved tops. The east window is a three-light design, also in the decorative style, complete with a hoodmould and carved stops. The interior has not been inspected.
