Details Church, still in ecclesiastical use, built by G.E. Street in 1870-71. The building is 106 feet (32 metres) long, and constructed from dark granite with lighter dressings, freestone windows and string courses. The aisleless nave is canted to a narrower chancel, and to the west is a piended, lean-to narthex with a depressed arch enclosing five lancets above. There are four two-light windows to the north wall, one four-light window and two two-light windows to the south wall, an organ chamber at the south and a vestry to the north. The chancel is apsidal, and there is a north spirelet at the junction of the nave and chancel, broached from square to semi-octagonal and thence to circular. Inside, the narthex opens into the church by three arches. There is a pointed waggon roof with tie rods, an original stone pulpit, coloured marble reredos, a two-seat sedilia with a piscina, a sacrarium with a brass door by Hardman and Co. There is glass by Clayton and Bell at the north side of the nave and chancel, and Lavers and Barreau glass at the south side of the nave.
