Statement of Significance

Church Statement of Significance. A prominently-sited, cement-faced limestone church, comprising four-bay nave with aisles, chancel, vestry and tower, designed by Albert Purchas and built in 1863-64 with the later addition of chancel and tower. Possibly inspired by the mediaeval design of Skelton Church, Yorkshire, this building is of particular interest for the way in which nave and aisles are encompassed within a single massive roof span without external expression. The lofty and impressive interior incorporates excellent stained glass and painted wall decoration with a low chancel arch.
