Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import.
Victorian brick-built church (C of E), soon to be demolished. Church built in 1883, with additions in 1903
AAG visited site to assess its suitability for possible recording under PPG 16. Modern porch to the west, windows boarded up. West and east elevation the same. Hipped roof, tiled. Four elongated decorative arched windows with chequered Victorian stained glass. Sills and lintels in what may be sandstone. All windows in the east were broken and boarded. The northern elevation was inaccessible, but was probably same as southern: six protruding gabled dormers in hipped roof, decorative rose type round central windows. Terracotta finials on gables and eight buttresses. No access inside. Empty for some time. <1>
