Dalton Parish Church

Dalton Parish Church, designed by architect J Dick Peddie and completed in 1895, is a Romanesque revival church constructed from snecked bull-faced red ashlar with polished dressings and heavy clasping angle buttresses. The church has a rectangular plan with a slightly lower chancel at the east, a massive two-stage square tower at the east, and a porch located at the west end of the long north wall. It features round-headed openings and hood-moulded doors.

The tower includes an east-facing door in the re-entrant angle, louvered bipartite belfry openings with shafted mullions and scalloped capitals, and a corbelled parapet with spouts that encloses a slated thin steeple topped with a weathervane finial. The main body of the church has single lights to the bays and three-light gable windows, with straight skews adorned with cross finials and slate roofs.

Inside, the church showcases contrasting long-and-short-worked dressings and white-plastered walls, a wide chancel arch, an octagonal oak pulpit, and an open timbered roof. The church is situated to the northwest of the old cemetery and is mostly enclosed by iron railings on a low cope. A war memorial cross is located to the northwest, and a finial from the old parish church's north gable is placed between the tower and porch, with the finial listed separately.
