Church of the Holy Cross

The Church of the Holy Cross is a Grade II* listed building constructed entirely of local red and grey sandstone, transitioning into conglomerate, with Bath stone used for the Victorian east window. The roofs are made of stone slate. The church features a nave, a separate chancel, a west bellcote, and a south porch.

The small nave has a blocked pointed arch entrance on the west wall. The coped west gable includes a small bellcote designed for two bells, although only one bell, dated 1698, is currently present. Large stone blocks frame the bell openings, with a cross above the gable, which may date from the same period as the bell. There are 3-light Perpendicular windows on both walls of the nave; while the designs are similar, the stone and condition differ, with the pink sandstone window on the south side likely being largely Victorian. The porch features a cranked arch and a plank door beneath a coped gable.

The chancel has blind side walls and a Victorian Decorated 2-light window with trefoil heads and a quatrefoil above. The churchyard contains a separately noted cross and a well-preserved chest tomb for William Nicholas, who died in 1729.

Inside, the church is very plainly finished and completely whitewashed. Part of the font may be pre-Victorian. The roofs are Victorian, with the nave supported by three double collar trusses featuring two tiers of purlins and a ridge piece, while the chancel has two arch-braced collar trusses with similar purlins and a ridge piece. The church uses iron chandeliers for candles, as there is no electricity.
