Dist:0.7km<br/>I like the windows with little multicoloured panes. The central vertical window-bars that do not go right to the top but finish with a fleur-de-lis look unusual.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This was opened in March 1905, and became a United Methodist Church after the amalgamation of the Bible Christians and Free Methodists in 1908. The architect was John Pethick and the builders the Petherick Brothers, a local firm. The facing stones are of limestone, and the 24m spire is sheathed with copper. The spire was damaged by a gale in 1991, and rebuilt after much fund-raising. There are now more structural problems as c. 2008 the Environment Agency constructed a culvert close to the church, and ominous cracks have since appeared in the stonework.
