What is recorded here
Attached gable-fronted three-bay single-storey former church, built c.1830, with three-stage tower, abutting college to east. Pitched slate roof with ruled-and-lined chimneystack with terracotta pots, cast-iron rainwater goods and cross finial. Roughcast rendered walls with ruled-and-lined render to plinth. Round-headed window openings with timber windows and limestone sills. Round-headed tooled limestone door surround comprising double timber panelled door flanked by engaged Doric columns surmounted by cornice with blank fanlight and 'IHS' lettering. Rusticated three-stage limestone tower with round-headed louvered opening to third stage, round-headed lancet style windows with tooled limestone surrounds to second stage and round-headed door opening with tooled limestone block-and-start surround and timber panelled door to ground stage. Set within the grounds of the college.
Although overshadowed by the college, this modest church is enlivened by the attention to detailing. The survival of many original features and materials enhances the building. Textural variation is created by the use of rusticated limestone in the tower which reflects the window surrounds of the east elevation of the college. The main entrance with its carved stone surround is a striking feature and enlivens the façade.
