Parish church. 1876-7 by C. Hodgson Fowler. Chancel added 1886. Snecked rock-faced
sandstone with ashlar quoins and buttresses. Steeply-pitched Welsh slate roofs.
Nave, south porch, north and south transepts and chancel. Early English style with
plate-tracery windows.
West end has diagonal buttresses and a pair of 2-light lancet windows separated by
a stepped buttress. Quatrefoil in gable. South porch has half-timbered gable with
bargeboards. Nave: 4 bays divided by stepped buttresses; each window has 3 stepped
lancets in chamfered reveals under a pointed hoodmould. Single-bay north and south
transepts have similar windows. Slightly lower and narrower single-bay chancel has
angle buttresses and a similar large 3-light window in east end. Square louvred
bellcote with steep spirelet at west end.
Interior: aisles were intended for the nave but only the north arcade was built
with the north wall abutting directly against it. Arcade has 4 pointed arches dying
into octagonal piers. Hammerbeam nave roof. Double-chamfered pointed chancel arch.
2 steps up to chancel which has a trefoil-headed piscina in south wall and a barrel
roof. 2 good quality stained glass windows: east window of 1905 by A.L. Moore of

This church occupies a prominent position and is listed partly for its townscape
value.
