Description
The Church of St Bride is a parish church built between 1868 and 1870 by Cory and Ferguson of Carlisle. It is constructed from rock-faced calciferous sandstone and features string courses and clasping buttresses. The roof is made of graduated greenslate and has coped gables with cross finials. The church is designed in a cruciform shape in the Neo-Norman style, complete with an apse. The nave includes a south porch with 19th-century zigzag arches supported by engaged columns. All the windows are round-headed and also feature engaged columns. The large square tower has a mosaic clock face and four-light bell openings on the south side. The south transept contains a reused 12th-century zigzag-arched doorway from the old church, as well as a built-in armorial stone from a tomb in the old church. Against the apse wall, there are eight grave slabs and two Roman quern stones.
