St Margaret's RC Church

The ornate Spanish baroque tower, in three stages, on portico-like ashlar front, rising through square tower to concave-sided belfry topped by console crown, throws out an exotic invitation which is not denied by the saucer-domed interior of the rubble built octagon behind it. Beneath its lunette windows are seven contemporary Spanish religious paintings by the artist Romero Lopez, given by John Gordon of Wardhouse, whose family resided primarily in Spain. The altarpiece and stencilled decorations date from c 1902.
