Church of Good Shepherd and Attached School

The Church of Good Shepherd and the attached school were built in 1872-3 by H Cockbain of Middleton. The structure is made of coursed rock-faced limestone with gritstone dressings and features Welsh slate roofs with coped gables and moulded kneelers. At the junction of the church and school, there is a twin-gabled bellcote. The building has a T-plan and is a single storey, designed in a mixture of Gothic styles.

The west elevation of the church showcases a large four-light window in the Perpendicular style with panel tracery, along with a small trefoiled lancet above it. The south elevation includes a buttress with two set-offs, a doorway featuring a four-centred arch with a moulded hood mould and hollow moulding adorned with fleurons. The oak door has a wooden handle and latch, with a stone plaque positioned above. To the left of the buttress, there is a clasping buttress with a small trefoiled lancet set at an angle. This is followed by a two-light window with cusped lights and a pointed quatrefoil above, complete with a hood mould that has stops. Additional buttresses and similar windows are present along this elevation, along with a polygonal projection featuring a small single lancet and a stepped clasping buttress. The elevation concludes with a three-light window with trefoiled heads.

On the north elevation, there are two-light windows with Perpendicular style tracery. The school to the north has three-light chamfered mullion windows with flat heads. Inside, the church has a plain interior with a simple Tudor style wooden screen at the west end. A stone pulpit is corbelled out of the wall, with the staircase integrated into the wall and accommodated in a polygonal projection. The communion rail features cusped ogees, and there is a blind arcade along the north wall.
