Description
The Church of St Columba, built in 1926 and designed by architect Temple Moore, is a Grade II* listed building. It is constructed of common brick and features a nave with two aisles on the south side and three on the north side. The choir is higher and has one aisle on each side, culminating in a polygonal apse. Due to the shape of the site, the aisles are triangular rather than the usual rectangular shape.
At the junction of the south choir aisle and the southern nave aisle, there is a flat-topped bell turret. The church has two-light windows with decorated tracery and hood moulds, which are flat-topped in the aisles, pointed elsewhere, and very tall in the apse and at the west end. The nave consists of four bays, while the choir has two bays, supported by tall ashlar piers of square plan set diagonally, featuring pointed arches. The walls are plastered, and the roof is wooden. The austere interior, combined with the external use of common brick and elaborate tracery, gives the church a North German appearance.
