Description
The Church of St Catherine is a Grade II listed building made from very roughly coursed and squared local limestone, with roughcast render on the chancel and slate roofs. It features a west tower, an aisle-less nave, and a chancel, with a vestry addition to the south. The two-stage west tower has a wide lancet window on the west side and a chamfered arched doorway to the south. The bell chamber has simple plain chamfered lights, and there is a clock on the north face. The tower is topped with a stepped embattled parapet and plain pinnacles at the corners.
The nave includes a coped gabled porch with buttresses and a plain chamfered arch facing northwest. It has a two-light window with intersecting tracery and a broad lancet window to the northeast of the nave and north of the chancel. The east window is a four-light design with intersecting tracery.
Inside, the simple nave and chancel are articulated into five bays by the principal arched braced collar trusses of the roof, although there are only two windows on each side. The windows, along with the north window of the chancel, feature emblematic stained glass with floral and foliage motifs on geometric forms, created by Cox, Sons, Buckley and Co. in 1886. A low stone screen separates the chancel from the nave, and the sanctuary has an encaustic tiled floor. The chancel arch and the arch to the organ chamber to the south are surrounded by painted stencilled text. The north and south walls of the chancel are also adorned with stencilled decoration, and painted metal panels on either side of the east window illustrate biblical themes. The stained glass in the east window, depicting the crucifixion with Saints Catherine and Asaph, dates to 1892 and replaces an earlier window from 1844 by Clutterbuck.
