Church Of Holy Ghost

The Church of the Holy Ghost is a church built between 1878 and 1879 by C.J. Ferguson. It is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with a tile crest. The church consists of a single vessel nave and chancel, along with a small north vestry. The gables are coped and topped with crosses, and there are weathered buttresses on the wall separating the nave and chancel. The gabled bellcote has gabled buttresses and a cinquefoil bell opening.

On the south facade, there are four straight-headed windows with tracery and label moulds; the eastern bay window has two cusped panels beneath it. The second bay of the nave features a three-light window with a hoodmould and cusped lights. The west end has a two-light window with a segmental-pointed head and a hood. The north facade includes a small gabled vestry with a two-light cross-mullioned window that has cusped upper lights, and a lean-to porch to the west, where the entrance has a decorative sinking to the lintel. An adjoining buttress has a light that leads to the porch.

The nave has a three-light window in the eastern bay, similar to those described above, and two straight-headed windows in the second bay. The western bay features a pointed entrance with continuous moulding, while the east end has a three-light window, with the central light being large and round-headed, likely designed to accommodate an existing stained glass window.

Inside, the church has a single-rafter roof supported by scissor and collar braces. There is an octagonal font with quatrefoil panels and lettering, topped with an enriched flat cover. The western screen has a segmental central opening, and there are cusped lights and brattishing. The chancel arch is double-chamfered, with the inner chamfer resting on corbels. An enriched timber pulpit and lectern are styled in the 16th century manner, and the stalls feature tracery fronts. A south seat recess is located between the windows, and the reredos is also in the 16th century style. The north vestry door has a wall memorial to Anne Moore, who died in 1772, featuring fluted pilasters, a frieze, and a broken pediment with an apron. The east window contains late 19th-century stained glass, with three lights dated 1862, while the tracery lights are later additions.
