Description
The Church of the Holy Innocents is a church built in 1876, constructed of brick in English bond with a purple slate roof featuring bands of grey slates. It has a five-bay nave with a south porch located at the second bay, an apsidal chancel, and a small north vestry. The porch includes a blue brick archway with a wooden head that has small quatrefoils, and an inner board door set in a moulded brick surround. The west window consists of two lights with a bellframe situated in the gable above. The other windows are lancets with leaded lights and projecting stone sills, while the chancel windows have stone lintels and sills. Polychromatic brickwork highlights the sill band and window heads. A wooden lantern with a short spire is positioned between the third and fourth bays, and the chancel features a conical roof. Inside, there is extensive use of polychromatic tiles, and a screen that separates the chancel from the nave can slide into the side walls. The church is part of a group with the nearby school and clock tower.
