Description
Freestanding Roman Catholic church, built c.1870, with sacristy to north, now in ruins. Pitched roofs, now without structure or covering, and had cast-iron rainwater goods, with rendered chimneystack to sacristy. Roughcast rendered walls with tooled limestone eaves course and iron gutter brackets. Round-headed openings to windows, with tooled limestone sills now removed. Pointed-arch opening to doorway with granite slab to threshold. Set within dry-stone boundary walls, west wall containing some large stones suggesting that boundary pre-dates building.
Appraisal
This church, now a roofless shell, would have served as a focal point for the now all but vanished surrounding community. It is an imposing building in scenic landscape with an associated presbytery close by.
