Exterior [ edit ]
The church is constructed in sandstone with a stone slate roof, and is in Early English style. Its plan consists of a nave with a short chancel and a tower at the west end. The roof is steeply pitched and divided into three, although internally the church consists of a single chamber with a flat ceiling. The nave is divided into bays by pilaster buttresses , between which are lancet windows . The tower is partly embraced by gabled pseudo-aisles , and is in two stages. The lower stage contains a west door, above which are lancets and gables. From this rises an octagonal drum containing a belfry with lancets, and over this is a short octagonal spire. At the east end is a stepped triple lancet window.[2]
Interior [ edit ]
Inside the church are galleries on three sides supported by cast iron columns; the galleries contain box pews .[2] manual organ was built in 1865 by Foster and Andrews of Hull . Improvements were made by the same firm in 1901 and 1906. In 1927 Jardine and Company of Manchester cleaned the organ and in 1989 they restored it.[10]
