Description
The Church of the Epiphany is a former lecture hall that now serves as a parish church, built in 1839 for Charles Ingleby, with an apsidal chancel added in 1883. The structure is made of slobbered rubble with stone dressings and features a slate roof. It includes a north porch, a nave, a west baptistry and bier house, a chancel, and a south vestry, all designed in the lancet style.
The gabled north entrance porch is constructed of ashlar and features a pointed arch with a hoodmould, diagonal buttresses, shaped kneelers, coping, and a cruciform finial. The Tudor arched entrance has plank doors with strap hinges. The nave consists of four bays with lancet windows that have hoodmoulds. A corbel table displays four different corbels. The gable end has shaped kneelers and copings, with a cruciform finial at the east end and a bellcote at the west end topped with a ball finial. The west gable features a sexfoil window, while the west end of the baptistry has a three-light window with trefoils in the spandrels. The pentagonal chancel has a two-light lancet window with a trefoil on each face and a hipped roof. Inside, the church has an exposed king post roof. It was consecrated in 1841.
