What is recorded here

Detached cruciform-plan gable-fronted church, built 1833, with two-bay side elevations to nave and transepts and chancel to the north-west. Roughcast rendered walls with limestone corner buttresses and plaque. Timber panelled doors with stained glass overlight, set in carved limestone pointed-arch opening having hood moulding. Stained glass windows set in pointed arch openings with limestone dressings. Cast-iron bell to freestanding belfry. Bounded by cast-iron railings on limestone plinths with ashlar limestone gate piers and cast-iron double gates.
SS Peter and Paul's church is enhanced by many artistic and architectural features such as the limestone dressings, carved stone plaque and stained glass windows. It occupies a prominent position at the end of the main street, and its setting is enhanced by the landscaped grounds bounded by cast-iron spear-headed railings and gates. It forms part of an interesting group of Roman Catholic structures with the belfry and parochial house.
