Ground Plan Description and Dimensions
Ground plan:
Single-cell building with lean-to additions to east and west.
Exterior Description
This is a plain brick single-cell building, with a pitched roof having tiled coverings. The Perpendicular style is employed, at least insofar as that all the windows have cusped semi-circular heads and rectangular label moulding. The west wall has a lean-to vestibule with two small single light windows of this pattern, with a two-light window between them. Above the vestibule are three taller windows, while the apex of the gable is crowned with a bell cote housing a single bell; judging by the brickwork this bell-cote is a later addition, or has been much repaired since the church was built, but the bell-opening is treated as a window, with cusped head and label moulding, and this unites the cote with the rest of the church. The side walls are severe, with no windows in the lower parts, which are articulated only by shallow buttresses; at clerestory level however are five four-light windows. The label mouldings here, as in the rest of the building, are placed rather further than is usual from the windows; indeed most of the labels seem altogether too large for the windows which they shelter. The east wall is completely blind, apart from the large rectangular windows in the lean-to vestry building.
Interior
Interior Description
The explanation for the forbidding appearance of the exterior of the church is provided by the blocked arcades on the inside of the walls; evidently the building was intended to have side aisles which were never executed. The arcades are of brick, sharply pointed and with a very slight chamfer, the columns are cylindrical. The wall surface contained by the arches has been whitened, but the rest of the internal brickwork has been left unpainted.
Fixtures and fittings
Pulpit
A robustly designed octagonal wooden pulpit on an octagonal base with moulded top and bottom. The panels of the pulpit are blind, with cusped semi-circular heads.
Font (object)
The semi-circular bowl has a roll-moulding at lip and base, and a blind arcade of small trefoiled arches between them. The shaft is cylindrical, and the base is encircled by a band of carved foliage.
Reredos
Wooden reredos in five sections, each section inscribed with the Greek Decalogue, Lord's Prayer or IHS monogram, and sect under ogee arches with multiple cusps. The sections are separated by crocketted pinnacles.
Stall
Poppy-headed choir stalls with pierced ends and arcaded supports to the bookrests. The style of these choir stalls is more usually associated with the 1870s and 1880s than with the later period when the church was built, and it may be that the stalls were imported from another source.
Organ (object)
1906
A small two manual organ by Albert Keate.
