Southwick Church

Southwick Church, designed by architects Peddie and Kinnear in 1891, is a Romanesque/Early English style church built from coursed granite with red sandstone dressings, an eaves band, and quoins. The church has a T-plan layout featuring an apse and a square squat tower over the crossing, along with a 3-bay nave.

At the southwest corner, there is a porch with a round-arched portal, which includes a chevron and ball-moulded archivolt supported by nook shafts, leading to a double-leaf door. The nave windows are single light with chamfered margins, while the transept windows are 2-light with plate tracery and decorated hood-moulds. The apse has seven round-arched single light windows. The squat tower features bipartite louvred openings, a corbelled parapet, plain spout gargoyles, and steep pyramidal roofs. The sandstone skews and ridge complement the steeply pitched slate roofs.

Inside, the church has an aisleless 3-bay nave with a sandstone chancel arch. There is stained glass in the south gable and apse, a square marble font supported on colonettes, and a hexagonal carved timber pulpit.
