Church Of St Wilfrid

The Church of St Wilfrid is a large and finely designed church built between 1909 and 1914 by Temple Moore, with north and south transepts added around 1924 to 1928 by Leslie Moore, who also designed the Lady Chapel in 1935. The church is in the early English style and features a three-bay nave with aisles, a three-bay chancel with a clerestory, and an octagonal Lady Chapel at the east end that includes an ambulatory. The transepts are two bays each, with the north transept featuring a tower-like entrance porch and an organ above, while the south transept is apsidal. The church has a crenellated central tower topped with a pyramidical roof, and the roofs are slated and tiled with corbelled eaves. The walls are made of Bath stone ashlar and are buttressed. The windows include paired lancet lights, with the west end showcasing two three-light windows in a hexagonal bow and a five-light east window, all featuring stained glass by Victor Milner. The entrance porch is deeply recessed with receding orders, and the interior boasts a stone rib-vaulted roof.
