to read as follows:
Anglican church. 1872-4 by William White. Stock brick with red brick dressings and diaper
over mass concrete core, tiled roof. Four-bay nave with north aisles, tower at south-west
corner supporting wooden belfy and shingled broad-eaved broach spire; raised chancel and

Internally, the four-bay nave arcade does not follow the pattern of the more regularly-spaced
clerestorey above. Concrete piers with naturalistic stone-carved capitals by Harry Hems.
Aisled windows, one with fragmentary stained glass, have marble sills. Chancel with apsidal
sanctuary set within round brick piers of ambulatory. The spandrels of the ambulatory arcade
gilded and painted with emblems. Tiled floor inset with panels by J R Clayton; choir stalls,
pulpit and font (raised on tiled and stone stepped plinth) to White's designs. Altar on stone
plinth behind low brass rails.
At the east end the ambulatory descends to crypt, with octagonal brick piers and lierne brick
vaults.
