Description
Low Marishes Church is a chapel of ease built in 1861, with an addition around 1870. The architect is unknown. It is constructed of red brick with blue brick and ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof that features a square wooden bell turret and an octagonal spire, all covered in wooden shingles. The nave and chancel are under a single roof, and there is a gabled porch added to the west.
The exterior of the west porch includes a pointed arched doorway with double plank doors and ashlar impost blocks, flanked by a circular window and another similar window above. The west wall features a large circular window with metal quatrefoil glazing. The north and south walls each have two small buttresses to the west and a larger buttress at the junction with the chancel. Between the buttresses are two pointed arches, each containing a circular window with metal quatrefoil glazing. The chancel has five blue brick bands and a single ashlar band, with the east chancel window set in a large pointed arch that has two pointed arch windows, each with two pointed lancets and wooden plate tracery trefoils, above a large circular window.
Inside, there is a wooden chancel screen with three pointed arches and two trefoils. The wooden altar and reredos feature unusual wooden tracery. The church also has an octagonal wooden pulpit and pews.
