Listing: 1849 by Edward Banks. Decorated Gothic Style. A well
proportioned example of an Ecclesiological church with good interior features.
Lych Gate Memorial c.1920.
Comment: The land was donated by John Moor Paget, the local
landowner. The industrialist Henry Rogers gave £1000 towards the cost. He
laid the foundation stone on 4th June and an appeal was made for funds. The
Church officially opened in 1852.
This 1980s view shows the church before it was obscured by
the surrounding trees. The lich gates, which are also a war memorial, can be
seen in front of the church.
A closer view of the lich gates. The slate panels are inscribed with
the names of the war dead. |
