Overview
Grid reference: NY 469 501
The church was designed and as a Chapel of Ease for Wetheral by Habersham and Brock in 1868. It was built from red sandstone quarried in Cotehill on land gifted by William Peascod, the quarry owner. It is designed in Early English style with its trefoil-headed pointed windows that includes a slightly more elaborate approach on the west elevation and the porch where a string course wraps over the window and door heads. The buttresses and tower complete this stylistic approach. The interior is bright and light and also reflects the Early English period with its scissor beam roof structure, the point decorated Chancel arch and the delightful stiff-leaf ornamentation on the heads of the arch pilasters. The highlight of the interior are the stained glass windows, particularly the wonderful east window with a tracery that alludes more to the Decorated period, designed by Henry Holiday. Holidays close working relationship with Burne-Jones can be seen in the Pre-Raphaelite composition and use of luscious colours. The window dominates the Chancel that seems to have been designed as an elaborate frame. An attractive Millennium clock has been added.
