Overview
Grid reference: NY 104 471
A C19th church built entirely of red sandstone with roughly squared, hammer dressed, coursed walling stone between tooled quoins and window surrounds. Quoin stones have draughted margins with a punched finish to the panels. The roof is of random and diminishing coursed Burlington slate. In plan the church has a wide nave without aisles, Chancel and Sanctuary with Vestry on the south side of the Chancel and Porch to the south west corner of the Nave. The base of the very large tower forms the Baptistery with belfry above. There are lancet windows to the east end, west end and the Nave with round arched openings to the belfry. Access to the tower is by a spiral stair built into the angle between the tower and the west gable wall of the Nave. Internally the Nave and Chancel are spanned by massive collar-tie trusses with additional crooked braces carrying the load down onto stone corbels projecting from the Nave north and south walls at half wall height. The effect is certainly unusual and by no means a visually successful means of articulating the space. The roof structure is identical with that of nearby St. Pauls, Causewayhead which was built in the same year and designed by the same Architect, William Armstrong. The west tower was added in 1924.
