Description
The Church of Saint Daniel is a disused church built from rubble stone and topped with slate roofs. It is a small structure featuring a nave, chancel, west tower, and spire, with the chancel ridge being slightly lower than the nave. The gables are coped.
On the north wall of the nave, there is a blocked window to the right, a large early 19th-century pointed doorway with stone voussoirs, 19th-century double doors with a cemented tympanum, and a 19th-century lancet window made of tooled grey limestone. The south wall has two 19th-century lancet windows and a blocked opening. The chancel includes a blocked square-headed window and a blocked doorway with a segmental head, as well as a large blocked opening to the south. The east end wall features a battered base and a 19th-century triple lancet window with coloured glass. There is a clasping buttress at the southeast corner.
The west tower has a battered base, a deep corbelled flat parapet, and a recessed stone spire. It contains vertical slit bell-openings on the east, west, and north sides, along with a 19th-century lancet window in the west wall. A curved staircase projection is located on the south side at the angle to the nave. The spire, made of tooled grey limestone, has a square low base with a string course beneath it, which transitions to an octagonal shape with tiny lucarnes on the cardinal faces at the base and another string course just above.
The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey. It is said to have a nave and chancel with pointed vaulted roofs that are the same height, although the chancel vault springs from a lower level. There is a 19th-century vestigial chancel arch supported by square pillars. A narrow pointed door leads to the tower, which contains a vaulted chamber at its base with stone stairs on the south side. Additionally, there is a pointed alcove in the south chancel wall and a late 18th-century panelled reading desk, which is not in its original position and is likely from St. Mary's. The floor is made of brick.
