Statement of Significance

Church Statement of Significance: A particularly idiosyncratic bluestone church begun in 1864, with a gallery on cast iron columns dating from 1868, but dating substantially from 1871. The facade incorporates a four light perpendicular Gothic window and a squat octagonal turret with an oversized roof. The interior, though it has subsequently been partitioned into two , includes cast iron gallery balustrading, carved hammer beam ceiling and a small pipe organ of unknown provenance.

Organ Statement of Significance: A single-manual organ with six speaking stops and pedal pulldowns of unknown provenance, retaining its original action and pipework. The instrument has an attractive grained timber case in the Gothic style incorporating gilt dummy pipes, a diminutive cornice and carved traceried pipeshades.
