II
Church tower, 1877 (Pevsner) by J W Stansby, Engineer. Yellow
sandstone square tower linked to the mainly brick outer walls of the
1843 church by John Cunningham, which had its roof removed and was
gutted in 1978. Tower is of coursed rock faced rubble masonry with
reducing angle buttresses. The chevron pattern boarded west door is
in a gothic opening, flanked by single shafts, and surmounted by hood
mould with stops carved as faces. Above the entrance there is a large
window with geometrical tracery. Windows in north and south faces are
at two levels, in partly blind arcades formed by shafts, lancet at the
lower level and trefoil headed above. Clock dials to four sides, set
in flat diaper panels of square carved masonry blocks. There are
treble louvred lancets at bell stage divided by coupled shafts with
rings. Octagonal pinnacles with shafts and lancet sinkings form the
angles and flank the stepped and crocketted gabled parapet.
