Square-headed door openings to north-east and south-east elevations with replacement timber panelled doors. Square-headed openings with one-over-one timber sliding sash windows to flat roofed addition.
Appraisal
Built in the mid nineteenth century, this church is typical of earlier Roman Catholic churches which are plain in style and modest in scale. It was deconsecrated in the early twentieth century when the new church was built across the road. Despite extensions, it retains its character, particularly though the maintenance of the windows openings. The building holds a prominent position on the outskirts of the village and remains in public use.
