Church Of St Mary Magdalene

The Church of St Mary Magdalene, built around 1841 by E Blore, was enlarged and altered in 1867 by Sir George Gilbert Scott. This work included the addition of a further bay to the nave, north and south transepts, a chancel apse, a vestry, and an organ chamber. The church is constructed of red brick with slate roofs and some stone dressings. The east apse is designed in the Early English style, featuring a blind arcade with three lancet windows. The nave has lancet windows, with bays separated by shallow stepped buttresses. There is a north transept and vestry, as well as a south transept that includes an octagonal turret topped with a spirelet.

Inside, the chancel arch and apse arch are adorned with naturalistic foliage, and there is an alabaster altar surround. The roof is canted and supported by corbels, featuring carvings of wild flowers. The stained glass includes works by Clayton and Bell in the apse, Powell and Sons of Whitefriars on the north side of the nave, both from 1873, and a piece by Kempe from around 1892 in the south transept. The church also contains monuments dating from 1632 and 1706.
