Description
The Church of St Bridget features a west tower, nave with a north porch, and a chancel. It is built from fairly random limestone rubble, with the Victorian additions closely resembling the medieval tower but appearing slightly more mechanical. The nave has four bays, with three lancet windows on each wall and a gap on the north wall filled by the porch, which has a gabled roof and a pointed arch doorway with a dripmould. The structure includes clasping corner buttresses, a steeply pitched roof with raised stone verges, and a gable cross.
The chancel has a blind north wall, two lancets, and a pointed door on the south wall, along with a 2-light plate tracery window with a quatrefoil head in the east gable. Its roof matches the pitch of the nave but has a lower ridge line, with a coped gable and an apex cross. The tower consists of three stages; the ground stage features a pronounced batter at the base of the walls and includes a west lancet. The first stage has a single lancet for the ringing chamber on the north side, while the bell chamber has a single light on each face and a paired lancet on the west wall. The tower is topped with a steeply pitched saddle roof and coped gables.
The interior was not available for inspection during the resurvey but is believed to be plain, featuring Victorian benches and furnishings, as well as a Norman bowl font. The roof is supported by principal rafters, and the porch has a 15th-century type windbrace roof.
