Description
The Former Church of St David is built from coursed squared local sandstone, featuring a battered base, especially noticeable at the chancel. It has stone slate roofs and a simple rectangular layout that includes a nave, a south porch, and a west bell-cote, along with a chancel. The nave contains a blocked west door set in a simple arch, with a 2-light timber window above it in a blue brick frame that illuminates the gallery. On the south wall, there is a single light Perpendicular window to the left and a 3-light window to the right of the steeply gabled porch, both adorned with cusped lights and dripmoulds. The porch itself has a pointed arch and a coped gable. The north wall features a 2-light window and possibly indicates the location of a north door. The roof is steeply pitched with coped gables; the west gable has a gabled bell-cote (though the bells are no longer present) and the east gable is topped with a cross. The chancel is lower and narrower than the nave, featuring a 2-light Perpendicular window on the south wall, a blind north wall, and a 3-light Perpendicular window with a dripmould over on the east gable, which also has a coped gable with a cross.
The interior was stripped out when the church closed and it was converted into a house around 1995. It was not inspected during the resurvey.
