Overview
Pearson replaced an earlier village church with a new building in local red sandstone under tiled roofs, consecrated in 1886. The design is characteristic of his mature Gothic: a compact plan with a strong tower and carefully modelled interiors. The parish remains Anglican. (An illustrated Gazette article on this church already exists in the editorial seed set; this draft fills the uncurated D1 stub without photographs.)
