Description

The Church of St Hilda is a parish church built in 1882, designed by Charles Hodgson Fowler. It is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings, featuring plain tile roofs and coped gables topped with finials. The building has quoins, a chamfered plinth, and a sill band. The nave and chancel are under a single roof, separated by a coped gable. A wooden square bellcote with a pyramidal wooden spire is located at the west gable. There is a south porch and a north-east vestry.

The west front features two lancet windows with hood moulds and a single mandola-shaped window above, all set in chamfered surrounds. The north front has two chamfered lancets with hood moulds for the nave. The projecting lean-to vestry has a Caernarvon arched doorway to the west, along with small lancet windows to the north and east, and a gabled ashlar chimney stack. The east front displays three graduated chamfered lancets in a single pointed ashlar opening with a hood mould. The south front includes a slightly projecting lean-to porch with a bracketed hood and a pointed arched doorway with a double chamfered surround. The nave has three chamfered lancets, while the chancel features a pair of chamfered lancets and an additional single lancet.

Inside, there is a double chamfered chancel arch and an arch-braced collar roof in the nave, which incorporates a wooden bell frame to the west, along with a lower painted panelled roof in the chancel. The church contains wooden pews and a pulpit, as well as an octagonal stone font. The east stained glass window was created by Kempe & Tower around 1903-1905. Additionally, there is a marble wall relief monument to Lilian Duncombe, carved in 1905 by Countess Gleichen, who was the daughter of Count Gleichen Prince Victor of Hohenlohen-Langenburg and a sculptor, as well as a nephew to Queen Victoria.
