Description

A church consisting of a single cell plus a vestry and heating apparatus chamber to the north and a small porch to the south. The masonry is local uncoursed quasi-dressed slate with sandstone dressings to the doors and windows. Slate roof in regular courses with coped gables on carved Gothic kneelers to east and west, the latter carrying a single-opening bellcote in ashlar stone. The porch and vestry have similarly coped gables. There is a chimney against the north wall at the junction of the vestry and heating chamber, the stack rising 2 m above the main eaves.

Three-light traceried east window with label mould; three two-light windows with label moulds in the south side and one to north, the one at south which lights the chancel having a higher sill. The porch has an open two-order equilateral pointed outer arch and pointed inner arch with boarded door. The vestry has a boarded door under a corbelled lintel and a two-light north window. North door and west window to heating chamber.

The church is entered by the south porch. The nave is short, with two banks of simply moulded pews in pitch pine. Rounded stone pulpit with quatrefoil piercings at left. Square C19 Gothic font on octagonal base near door. The floor is of red herringbone tiles.

The nave and chancel are of five bays, with arch-braced collar-beam trusses on corbels. Two steps up to the chancel, with a low pitch-pine screen. Plain choir-stalls incorporating a prayer desk at right. Single step to sanctuary and single altar step. The floors of the chancel and sanctuary are of black and red quarry tiles with encaustic tile inserts. Oak reredos against the full width of the east wall and returning at north and south, dated 1941. At the left of the chancel is a single arch and lobby leading to the vestry.

Small brass plaque at right of nave to Jane Lloyd [1881] who donated £200 to the restoration; three other brass memorials.
