Unitarian Church. 1872 by Virgil Anderton, a member of the congregation.
Coursed sandstone with sandstone ashlar dressings and spire. Slate roofs
with gable copings. Built on a slope above school rooms in basement,
cruciform plan with tower over porch to left and single-storey porch to
right. Most details from the transition between Geometrical and
Curvilinear. Facade has, below, a tall 3-light window with a quatrefoil,
flanked by 2 lancets, and, above, a 4-light window subdivided into 2 pairs
with a sexfoil. Openwork cross on gable and above East end. Doorway with
shafted responds and crocket capitals and tympanum carrying datestone.
4-stage tower carries a short octagonal spire with a band of sunk
quatrefoils below 4 blind lucarnes; junction of tower and spire cleverly
concealed by 4 sturdy octagonal turrets and by gables rising above the
bell-openings which have plate tracery. Interior has a broad nave under
hammerbeam roof with remarkably slender trusses, shallow transpets with
galleries, and a lower, aisled chancel lit by a 4-light window whose lower
central lights have 3 quatrefoils in a circle above.
