Description
The Church of St Agatha is a chapel of ease and school, now functioning solely as a chapel of ease, dated 1840. It is constructed of rubble with a Welsh slate roof. The building features a 4-bay nave and chancel combined, with a lower range to the south. The west end has a chamfered pointed-arched doorway with a lancet window above it, and a plaque displaying the date "MDCCCXL". At the apex of the gable, there is an ashlar bellcote. The north elevation, which faces the road, includes four chamfered lancet windows and ashlar copings. The east end has three lancet windows. On the west elevation of the south range, there is a matching door and lancet window, along with ashlar coping and a chimney on the right end. It is recorded that the building was constructed in 1839 as a school that also served as a chapel of ease, as noted in the History, Gazetteer and Directory of the East and North Ridings of Yorkshire (1840) on page 643.
