Church Of St Robert (Presbytery And Repository)

The Church of St Robert, along with its presbytery and repository, was built in 1864 and 1879 by Goldie and Child, with alterations in 1906 by Marten of Leeds. It is a Roman Catholic church constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and Welsh slate roofs, featuring coped gables and kneelers, designed in the Gothic Revival style.

The church itself comprises a nave and aisles, with a short, square tower to the north-east. The nave's clerestory has 12 lancet windows on the west and 11 on the east, while the aisles have similar, albeit irregular, lancet windows. The main front has a projecting gabled porch with 20th-century double doors, flanked by single lancets. Above the porch are four tall lancets with pink stone shafts and carved capitals, separated by a central buttress. A single central shaft with small lancets on either side rises above, topped by an ashlar bellcote with a spire. The square tower, banded with ashlar, features a saddle-back roof with two bell openings on each facade. An ashlar pointed archway connects the tower to the presbytery.

The two-storey presbytery with an attic has ashlar sill and hood bands. Its gabled south front features a two-storey canted bay window with three plain sashes to each floor. A canted corner turret has a single lancet on each face. The east front has two canted bay windows under a single lean-to roof, above two pairs of sashes and a small dormer. A large sash is present on the ground floor of the return angle, with a tripartite window above and a hipped dormer.

The repository to the east has a three-window south front with a central doorway and overlight, flanked by single sashes. Three similar sashes are positioned above, topped by three hipped dormers. The rounded east end has two sashes on the ground floor and a single sash above.

Inside, the church reveals five-bay arcades, the northern two sub-divided within the chancel, with circular columns and water-leaf capitals. The original wooden roof remains, now painted white, along with similar side aisle roofs. A wooden gallery with pews and an ornate organ are located on the south side. Other notable interior features include ornate Victorian side aisle chapels, original pews, and stained glass.
