Description
A late 19th-century church and manse built of rubble with contrasting tooled ashlar dressings. The buildings face south, with the church on the east side and the manse on the west.
The church has a gabled porch projecting from the east gable. The south front is three bays wide, with a broad, gabled western bay featuring a tall, pointed-headed window with decorative tracery and a side door. Simple tracery is found in all windows, with leaded glazing. A bellcote sits on the ridge, topped with a pyramidal, bellcast slate roof and a cast-iron weather vane (the bell is missing).
The manse is a two-storey, irregular three-bay building, mirroring the church’s design. A projecting gabled porch, located in the re-entrant angle, masks the central front door, which is set into a slightly projecting wide, gabled bay. The windows are bipartite and tripartite in design, with two-pane glazing. The manse has coped end stacks. Both buildings have slate roofs with projecting eaves.
The church and manse remain in continuous ecclesiastical use.
