Description
The Church of the Resurrection is a Grade II listed building constructed in red-brown brick with tiled roofs, designed in the Neo-Byzantine style. It features a nave, aisles, transepts, a low octagonal tower, and polygonal east and west ends. The octagonal tower has two windows on each face, while the four-bay nave includes paired windows in each bay. The aisles have doors at their west ends and lean-to roofs. The polygonal east end has a window on each facet. At the west end, there is a window of five narrow lights above a polygonal bay with three windows facing west, along with an entrance door with recessed orders at each aisle end. The gabled transepts have large round windows, and there are lower blocks on the south side that link to the church hall to the north.
Inside, the church has a spacious interior arranged on a Latin cross plan, featuring an aisled nave with low aisles, short transepts, a dome over the crossing, and an apsed chancel. The western narthex has three semicircular arches, with the smaller arches flanking the larger one, and a plain five-light window above. The nave has paired arch-headed clerestorey lights and single lights in the aisles. Square piers with pilasters support the tunnel vaulted roofs, and there is a semicircular arcade. The transepts are illuminated by circular windows, and the hemispherical dome, carried on squinches, is lit by sixteen small windows. The chancel has paired clerestorey lights on either side, and the apse is adorned with five arched lights featuring coloured glass depicting the Annunciation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, and Pentecost, created by Francis Spear in 1947. These windows are positioned above the altar, which has a tester above it. The pulpit is in the Perpendicular style and also features a tester. Some original light fittings remain in the transepts, while the rest of the decorative metalwork dates from the 1960s.
