Church Of St Margaret

The Church of St Margaret is a parish church located on Bentham Station Road in High Bentham. It was built in 1837 in the Lancet style by George Webster and was extended in 1902. The church is constructed of rockfaced stone with stone dressings and has a slate roof.

The structure includes a nave, a west tower, a chancel, a north vestry, and a south side chapel. The four-bay nave features four two-light lancet windows with hoodmoulds and pendant stops, along with buttresses and an embattled parapet. The three-stage tower has a west entrance with a four-centred head, a chamfered surround, and a hoodmould with carved heads. The middle stage contains a stepped tripartite window, while the bell stage has a two-light window with a hoodmould and pendant stops. The tower is adorned with octagonal angle turrets and an embattled parapet.

The two-bay chancel, north vestry, and south side chapel, all added in 1902, include two two-light windows with trefoil heads on the north and south sides, each with hoodmoulds. The east end of the side chapel features a three-light window with trefoil heads and a rose window above it. The east window of the chancel has four lights and trefoil plate tracery. The interior boasts an open king-post roof with scissor braces.
