Description
The Church of St Gregory is a Grade II listed church built in 1840 by John Harper. It is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The church has a four-bay nave with a bellcote and a south porch, as well as a lower single-bay chancel.
The nave includes a plinth and offset buttresses at the corners and between the bays. A small gabled south porch has a chamfered pointed-arched doorway on the left-hand side. The other bays are adorned with triple, chamfered stepped lancet windows, a continuous sill, and stepped and moulded eaves. The west elevation features lancets flanking an advanced central section that supports the gabled bellcote. This section has two pointed-arched openings, each containing three bells, and is topped with a pierced trefoil and a gable cross. Below the bellcote is a clock face, and the gables are finished with stone coping.
The chancel has offset angle buttresses and an offset diagonal buttress at the east end, along with a continuous sill band and stepped and moulded eaves. The east window consists of five tall lancets with a triangular blocked window above. The interior of the church is very plain.
