Description
C19 church in late Perpendicular style. Nave of 3 bays with W gable bellcote and SW gabled porch; shorter narrower chancel with N vestry. The church is built of local rubble masonry with freestone dressings; modern slate roof with narrow courses below a slate ridge, and stone copings. The nave has offset angled buttresses at the E end and there is a single gabled bellcote at the W end above reset weathered facial stops set at the apex of the gable; the E gables have weathered trefoil finials. The windows are a mix of 1, 2 and 3 trefoil-headed lights with arched heads. The chancel has similarly detailed windows with flat heads, the E window has 3 trefoil-headed lights and Perpendicular tracery in a pointed arch with hoodmould terminating in facial label stops. Entry to the church is through the SW porch: chamfered arches to outer and inner doorways, and boarded inner door with ornate floriate hinges; the W wall of the porch has a single pointed-arched window. The vestry has a pointed arched door in the W wall and a single rectangular window with paired lights under a relieving arch in the N wall.
The nave has a roof of 5 bays with exposed rafters and purlins and king post trusses with braces carried down to wall posts on simple shaped corbels. The chancel roof is of a single bay with exposed collared rafters; chancel is raised by 2 steps and has a simple chancel arch with stop-chamfered angles. The sanctuary has a simple timber rail on twisted iron stanchions with floriate brackets. The fittings are all C19, presumably contemporary with the building of the church. At the W end of the nave is an octagonal font thought, by RCAHM, to be medieval, re-dressed. There is a late C19 slate memorial tablet on the N wall and an early C20 bronze memorial tablet on the S wall.
