Description
The Church of St Issel is an Anglican parish church built of rubble stone with slate roofs, which were renewed in 2002. It is a small structure that includes a nave, a west bellcote, a south porch, and a chancel. The church features ashlar dressings around 19th-century narrow lancet windows and doors, which are adorned with hoodmoulds and carved stops. The west end has a single lancet window and a plain rubble bellcote with a pointed opening and a shallow-gabled top, housing a single bell.
The south side has a large rubble porch with a pointed arched entry and hoodmould. Inside the porch, which is plastered, there is a 19th-century pointed inner south door and stone seats. The nave has a single lancet window on the right side, while the north side features a similar window along with stone voussoirs from a blocked north door and another single lancet window on the left. The lower chancel, which is slightly inset, has a plain rectangular chamfered south window from the 19th century or later and a traceried 19th-century two-light pointed east window with cusped lights and a cinquefoil. The east wall shows a slight batter at the foot, and there are stone finials at the east ends of the nave and chancel, with the nave cross still intact and the chancel cross broken off.
Inside, the church is plastered, featuring late 19th-century roofs. The nave has a boarded three-sided roof supported by arch-braced collar trusses on corbels, while the chancel has a boarded roof as well. The chancel arch is also plastered. Notable fittings include a font with a retooled square bowl, likely from the 12th century, and late 19th-century pitch pine pews. There are memorials, including a pedimented plaque dedicated to Rev. D. Adams, who died in 1855.
