What is recorded here
Freestanding two-stage belfry, built 1909. Pitched slate roof with decorative cast-iron ridge cresting and crosses. Ruled and lined rendered walls with rock-faced limestone base, corner buttresses, quoins and dressings to openings. Ashlar limestone string course between stages. Pointed arch door opening. Square-headed openings with timber louvers.
The solidity of the construction of this belfry is emphasised by the rock-faced limestone base and buttresses. The cast-iron ridge cresting and crosses provide artistic detailing. The belfry forms part of an interesting group of Roman Catholic structures with the church and parochial house.
