Former Church Of St Giles

The former Church of St Giles is an Anglican parish church that is currently being converted into a house as of September 1986. It has 20th-century origins but was completely rebuilt, with the nave constructed around 1840 by Lewis Vulliamy and the chancel completed in about 1843, likely by J.M. Allen, who was the curate-in-charge. The building features stone ashlar and Welsh slate roofs between coped gables, with the chancel showcasing an ornamental clay tiled ridge and a former two-bell turret at the west end.

The church has a two-unit plan. The chancel is designed in a style reminiscent of the 13th and 14th centuries, complete with a plinth, cill course, and corner buttresses. It has a triple lancet window on the east side and cusped lancet windows on the north side, along with a single and a double cusped lancet on the south side, all lacking labels. The northeast corner vestry includes a pointed-arched east doorway with a curl-stop label, accessed by five steps, and three cusped lancets in the north wall.

The nave consists of five bays, featuring a plinth, bay and corner buttresses, and one plain lancet window in each bay, with two additional lancets in the west gable separated by a buttress. The south porch is adorned with angled corner buttresses and a 14th-century style outer arch that has side shifts and dogtooth ornamentation, along with a label that features headstops and a moulded inner arch.

Inside, the chancel boasts an exposed rafter and scissor truss ceiling, side shafts to the window reveals, a sedilia in the south wall, and a stone credence shelf set in a cinquefoil-cusped recess in the north wall. There is a small Gothic-style fireplace in the corner of the vestry, which leads to a finely decorated stone oriel pulpit on the east wall of the nave. The nave has a hammerbeam truss roof. Although many interior details have been removed, it is understood that the aforementioned features are to be preserved during the conversion process.
