Description
The Church of St Columba is a parish church built in 1905 by W D Caröe. It is constructed from rock-faced calciferous sandstone rubble, featuring a string course and angle buttresses on a chamfered plinth. The roof is made of graduated greenslate with coped gables and cross finials. The church has a four-bay nave and a single-bay chancel, along with a small square north tower that also serves as a porch. The tower includes an open round-headed arched porch, and the bell stage has diagonal buttress posts connected by segmental arches, topped with a spiked weather vane. The nave windows are round-headed, with the east and west walls featuring three-light windows, all fitted with wrought-iron grilles. Inside, there is an early 20th-century bowl font and an open timber trussed roof, with no fixed pews.
