Description

The Church of St Margaret is a Grade II listed church built in 1856 by architect Gould and restored in 1956 by Sir Albert Richardson. It features dressed limestone with limestone ashlar dressings and a slate roof, designed in the Early English style. The church has a three-bay nave and a north aisle, with a west bellcote, a south porch, a chancel that includes an organ chamber, and a north vestry.

The buttressed west end has two lights with a quatrefoiled roundel above, while there is a single light at the end of the nave. The gabled bellcote has two lights and a quatrefoil above it. The gabled and buttressed porch has a pointed opening beneath a head-stopped hood-mould, which contains a studded door with decorative hinges. The east side features two windows with paired lights, and the north aisle has paired lights in the center and to the east, with a single light to the west. The chancel has a pointed priest's door with decorative hinges and a single light on each side, while the east window consists of three stepped lights beneath a continuous hood-mould on corbel stops.

A continuous sill band runs along all parts of the church, and all windows are in chamfered quoined surrounds with foiled leaded lights. The gables are coped with crockets on both the porch and the nave, and there is a gable cross on the chancel.

Inside, the church features a double chamfered arcade of three pointed arches on low cylindrical piers with plain capitals. The window arches are round-headed with deep splays. The original organ has decorated painted pipes, and there is an 18th-century wooden triptych, painted with scriptural subjects, that serves as the reredos in the north aisle chapel. Additionally, there are four 17th-century tablets commemorating members of the Gower family.
