Description

Rubble construction with rough-dressed gritstone quoins; steeply-pitched slate roof with plain gable crosses to E and S gables. Tall bellcote to W end, corbelled out slightly and with arched bell-opening inscribed 'T 1842 E' above; stone pyramidal capping with surmounting sculpted cross. Beneath the bell-opening, a primitive Crucifixion panel in shallow relief contained within a shallow niche. Triple-light leaded W window with cusped arched heads; shallow returned label with octagonal shaped stops. Three similar 2-light windows to the N side and a further window to the S side to the R of the porch. This has broad flanking walls supporting a slated roof with a wide segmental-arched pegged truss to the opening; slate-flagged floor and plain rubble wall benches. Deeply-recessed inner entrance with slightly-pointed arch; C18/C19 boarded and studded door. The S chapel has its E wall set back slightly from the plane of the chancel E wall. It has a post-Reformation 2-light slate mullioned window with C19 pegged oak, arched frame. To the L, a 2-light C19 window as before, and beyond this, a length of timber is visible in the wall at head height, suggesting a former entrance in this position. C19 3-light mullioned window as before to S gable. The chancel E window is neo-Norman and has a round-arched, roll-moulded opening with flanking columns and foliated cushion capitals.

Slate flagged floor to continuous nave and chancel; arched-braced collar truss roof with 20 clustered trusses. Plain C19 box pews banked towards W end; C18 wooden box pulpit with stepped access and bearing inscribed initials LBR; plain handrail and balusters. Reading desk in front with 3 raised panels flanked by octagonal pilasters and bearing the initials JER and the date 1724. Early Medieval (C13?) cylindrical stone font with retooled round base and modern pedestal. C18 turned oak communion rails and re-located sections of C18 panelling to chancel. Twin-arched entrance to S chapel, with octagonal dividing pier; simple chamfered base and capital. 2-bay arched-braced collar truss roof with 2 tiers of cusped windbraces. C19 stained glass panel of Christ to E window.
