Church. 1826-28 by Sir Charles Barry. Grey brick with stone
dressings, roofs of slate. Perpendicular in style, with east

elaborately moulded and chamfered, leading to a vaulted tower
hall, and a three-light window over; clock in the second
stage, bell-chamber in the third, and embattled parapet; angle
buttresses with offsets terminating in pinnacles. The aisles
and nave read as five bays with two-light windows between
offset buttreses, the nave extending slightly westwards beyond
the aisles; parapets to both. The gabled west end has an
arched door under a tall three-light window with reticulated
tracery, the upper lights having ogee heads. Angle buttresses
terminating in pinnacles, parapeted gable. Single-storey
vestries at the east end, flanking the tower, have canted ends
with lights in all three facets, obscured at the time of
inspection by boards
INTERIOR: . At the ritual east end the tower is open in its
middle stage; below this a seven-bay blind arcade with
crocketed gables and balustrade forms a reredos; the open
stage has a vaulted roof framed by a four-centred arch; a
little forward of this is a higher four-centred arch with
triple wave-moulding flanking the shallow chancel. Encaustic
tiling to the chancel floor, and extending into the nave
beyond the first bay. Five-bay arcade to the nave with
compound piers, an inner order, and pointed arches; galleries
in the north and south aisles with panelled fronts, carried
over the ritual west end on two pairs of cast-iron columns.
Three four-centred arches to west end leading to entrance
porch; panelled roof to nave of shallow pitch supported on
arched braces, and similar roofs to aisles. The roof of the
north aisle, and much of the plasterwork and decoration in the
church had been removed for refurbishment when this
description was made.
