Description
The Church of Our Saviour, located in West Shore, is a church featuring Perpendicular architectural detailing. Its walls are faced with sandstone both inside and out, and it has slate roofs. The north side of the nave includes three 3-light windows at the clerestorey level, with a smaller 2-light window to the left lighting the chancel. The low north aisle is buttressed and has three 2-light windows, while a gabled vestry to the left contains a 3-light window. To the right, there is a gabled porch with a 2-light window on its west side. The west end of the church features a 4-light Perpendicular window. The south elevation mirrors the north, with a southwest porch that has a 2-light window at its gable end. At the southeast end, there is a link to a modern hall.
Inside, the nave consists of four bays with tall moulded arches in the nave arcade. The roof is supported by king and queen post trusses, and there is a tall chancel arch. The side aisles are lean-to structures, each featuring a small single light window with a chamfered head and internal splayed reveals at the west end, along with an internal doorway at the east end. The north side aisle has three small segmental-headed windows, each with two rectangular lights and splayed jambs, and at the west end of the north wall, there is a doorway leading to an external gabled porch. This porch has a doorway with a pointed head at the front and a two-light window in each return wall. The south side aisle includes a doorway at the west end leading to an external gabled porch that has a two-light segmental-headed window, a three-light window, a single light window, and a doorway leading to a later 20th-century extension. The single light window is a memorial to Major Arundell Neave, who fell at Ypres in 1915, and features "ancient glass" depicting Christ carrying the Cross.
At the west end of the nave, there is a notable octagonal marble font, dedicated in 1912, which has a relief of Christ with children. Nearby, a tablet bears the inscription: "This tablet records the fact that the font in this Church was the gift of children in the memory of Lewis Carroll (C L Dodgson), the author of 'Alice in Wonderland' and a lover of Llandudno."
