Church Of St Saviour

The Church of St. Saviour, built between 1901 and 1909 for the 16th Earl of Derby, is constructed of coursed red sandstone rubble with ashlar quoins, windows, and doorways, topped with Kerridge stone-slate roofs. It features a squat, two-stage battlemented west tower, an aisleless nave with four bays, a one-bay chancel, a gabled south porch, and a north vestry. The east window is pointed and consists of three lancets under a hoodmould supported by carved heads acting as corbels. The nave, the south side of the chancel, and the vestry have square-headed mullioned windows with square labels and hollow-moulded mullions and surrounds, while the doors also have hollow-moulded surrounds. On the south slope of the nave roof, there are two gabled three-light dormers made of oak. A foundation stone in the south wall of the chancel notes that it was laid by Constance, Countess of Derby, on September 14th, 1901.

Inside, the church has a simple plastered interior above an oak dado. The nave features oak queen-post trusses, with through purlins leading to the chancel, and the rafters have diagonal-boarded underdrawing, all made of oak. The seating consists of simple oak pews. A bowl-shaped stone font rests on a base with corner-shafts and stiff-leaf capitals. The church was built to commemorate the safe return of the Earl of Derby's sons from the Boer War, using estate masons and carpenters.
