Description
The Church of St Francis Xavier and St David Lewis is a church featuring a nave and south aisle with four bays, a chancel, a vestry, a north porch, and a north tower. It is constructed of old red sandstone with coursed bathstone dressings and has slate roofs. The church is designed in the Decorated Gothic style.
The west window is a three-light Geometrical style design. The gabled porch includes diagonal buttresses and a quatrefoil window on the right wall, with stone benches inside. There is a narrow Gothic doorway leading into the church, accompanied by a stoup on the right. Between the porch and the tower, there are two two-light plate tracery windows. The later tower features a steep pavilion slate roof with lucarnes and two-light Decorated style windows in the bell stage, which is recessed and supported by angle buttresses. The vestry is located at the northeast corner and includes a chimney, a two-light dormer, and a three-light window on the ground floor. Clasping buttresses are present at the east end, which also has a three-light Geometrical style east window. The north aisle contains four two-light plate tracery windows, with a similar window at the west end of the aisle.
Inside, the nave roof is supported by thin scissor braces and wall posts. The south aisle features a four-bay arcade with octagonal piers. The inner order of the chancel arch rests on floral corbels, and the chancel has a wagon roof. The church contains stained glass, including an east window depicting the risen Christ flanked by Saints, created by Hardman in 1857. The south window of the chancel, depicting the Virgin with the Boy presented to her, is also by Hardman, dating from around 1862. In the south aisle, the east window shows the Annunciation and was made by Wailes in the 1850s. The southeast window of the aisle features Saints by H Beiler of Heidelberg, created around 1908.
