Image: © Humphrey Bolton Taken: 29 Jan 2009
Rebuilt by Philip Webb for the Howards of Naworth, Earls of Carlisle, in 1874-8. An unconventual design using a mixture of styles. The west tower serves as a porch; it has a giant niche with a large window and below two very small two-light windows for the baptistery. The small lead spire has extensions to the north and south with pitched lead roofs. The prominent two-light north aisle windows are gabled and embattled, with the merlons climbing up and having sloping tops. The vestry has windows high up, over a bare wall, and a prominent chimney. The south aisle west window is round with tracery, and on the south side it has a pattern of alternating small rectangular windows and bare gabled stretches. The last window to the east is of three lights in Perpendicular-style. The roof slopes up from the aisle eaves to the nave ridge. The large five-light east window has flowing tracery.
