Description of Archaeology and History
Built in 1908.
Exterior Description
Built of random coursed stone with stone dressings to windows, doors and copings. From an architectural point of view there is little of interest either internally or externally. Such interest as there is, is chiefly limited to the west facade, which consists of two sets of triple lancets divided by a buttress and above this, in the gable, is a vesica-shaped window containing stained glass. The only other external feature of any remark is the two stage tower and its spire. The belfry stage with its chamfered corners and bell-openings set in deep reveals seems to perch on the lower stage of the tower. The squat leaded octagonal spire has four small angle pinnacles.
