More about this scene
Attributed to Pearson and built in the Early English style, this large, red-brick church was built in 1896-7, so it was relatively new in Francis Frith's photograph. The square crossing tower has an unexpected pyramidal roof, possibly in place of an intended spire. The Baptistry extends and projects to the south at the west end like a porch, and has two rounded angle buttresses with solid pinnacles. The main north porch has a small south porch attached to the angle between nave and transept. The brick interior, with four-bay arcades, is not emphatic; there is a rib-vaulted crossing and sexpartite rib-vaults in the chancel and the lower south chapel. The baptistry is also rib-vaulted; it is octagonal, with three open sides projecting into the south aisle. Its windows are a high three-light in the west and a broader five-light in the east.
