Parish Church of St Eigon

The Parish Church of St Eigon is a stone building with mainly machine-made clay-tile roofs. The church largely dates to the 19th century, although incorporating fabric from earlier periods. The nave has "Early English" style windows, mostly from the 19th century, with a possible older three-light window to the west. The roof projects, with extended purlins; those to the west are ogee-moulded and from the early 19th century. Four buttresses were added to the north side in the 19th century. The chancel has a lower pitched slate roof with extended purlins. A south window is from the 14th century with two trefoil-cusped lights, while the north window is round-arched and likely from the 16th or 17th centuries. The east end was rebuilt in the 19th century using better-squared stone and a new three-light window with Y-tracery. A 14th century south porch features an ovolo-moulded and chamfered arch above splayed caps and chamfered jambs. The original coping level is visible on the south side, and 19th century outer gates, made of oak with chamfered and nail-studded latticework, stand before it. An unusual belfry, possibly added around 1670, has stone louvres to the east and west, although those on the east are partly blocked. The north vestry, also from the 19th century, is in an "Early English" style, with projecting roof timbers that are ogee-ended. A small store is located in the southeast angle of the porch, featuring a lean-to roof and an original chamfered door frame.

The nave is plastered except for the west wall, which has been scraped to reveal more of its original fabric. A nine-faceted plaster barrel ceiling, dating from the 19th century, rises from a plaster cornice. The west bay is defined by a plain, plastered, two-centred arch that leans to the east. A 19th century "Early English" style door is located on the south side. The chancel arch is moulded and from the 19th century. The roof above is from the early 19th century, with three-bay kingpost trusses that are truncated and bolted to scissored principals, which were plastered to create a pitched ceiling later in the 19th century, and are now exposed. The porch has a stout oak ceiling supporting a partly-moulded frame. The roof of the porch features arch-braced collared rafters, some of which are truncated, of two different types, but all are mediaeval and have been reset.

The church contains a barrel organ from the mid-19th century, with an oak-grained case and dummy pipes in a cusped arch, made by Bevington & Sons of London. There are three bells, said to date from 1670. A pair of oak "Glastonbury" chairs are present, along with 18th century communion rails featuring turned oak balusters, and an 18th century oak communion table with stout turned legs. The late 19th century south nave door is made of pine, panelled on the south side and framed and braced to the north, incorporating ornamental hinges. The floor is tiled with black, yellow, and red tiles, running continuously through the nave and chancel. The sanctuary features a fine floor of glazed and coloured tiles, including three large squares of Minton tiles from 1892. A late 19th century font has an octagonal stone bowl carved with crosses on a shafted stem; a circular bowl from the 13th century is located in the porch, with three incised lines. Stained glass includes scenes from the life of Jesus by J Bell (1856) in the east end, and a depiction of an angel from 1892 in the north window. A 19th century lectern has a triangular wooden stand and a desk with pierced trefoiled ends. A neo-classical black and white marble monument commemorates Melena and William Acton (1856 and 1875 respectively). An organ in a pine case dates from 1911. Nave pews are 19th century pine box-pews with doors numbered in gold (1-34), while the chancel pews are also from the 19th century, possessing good carved fleur-de-lys poppyheads. A pair of 19th century panelled pine pulpits are present, in a 15th century style with cusped arches, spandrels, moulded bases, and cornices. Painted metal creed, decalogue, and Lord's Prayer tablets date from 1853. A brass plaque in the nave commemorates the First World War, while a copper memorial records the Second World War and "Extensive damage from Enemy Action" in 1941.
