Description
The Church of St David is a Grade II listed building constructed from rubble stone with slate roofs. It features an aisleless nave and chancel, a west tower, and large gabled transepts. The gables are coped, and the west tower, which is partly situated on the ridge, exhibits a simple Gothic style with plain pointed bell-openings and a corbelled embattled parapet. The tower's west front includes two small pointed lights, a date plaque from 1835, and a pointed arched west door with a hoodmould.
The nave is supported by large angle buttresses at the nave and transept angles, each consisting of one step and flat caps. On the south side of the nave, there is a narrow cusped lancet window to the left that lights the tower stair. The stonework of the transept appears to date from 1835, while the large three-light windows in a Perpendicular style were added in 1886. The chancel, which seems to be entirely from 1886, features an ashlar eaves course, two two-light Perpendicular style windows on the south, a three-light east window, and a lean-to vestry on the north side with one three-light window.
Inside, the church boasts a fine single open barrel roof from 1886, plastered walls, and moulded arches from the same year leading to the transepts, which have similar roofs. There is no chancel arch, and the chancel windows have segmental pointed inner arches.
The chancel is adorned with an alabaster five-panel reredos set in a Gothic timber frame, and there are three stained glass windows on the chancel's side wall, all signed by Jones & Willis from 1904, while the large east window, which is unsigned, dates from around 1902 and is said to reproduce a painting by Gustave Doré. In the tower, there are plain pointed arches on each side, one leading to the nave and the other to the south side spiral stair that ascends to the ringing floor, all crudely Gothic and dating to 1835. Jones & Willis also provided the font, lectern, and pulpit desk in 1886, while Messrs Singer of Frome supplied the cross and candlesticks.
