SK 10 SW HINTS C.P. BRICK KILN LANE (south side), Canwell
9/41 Church of St Mary and St Giles and All Saints 27.2.64 (Formerly listed as Church of St Mary, Canwell)
- II*
Chapel of ease. 1911 by Temple Moore. Finely random coursed, dressed and squared stone; tiled roof; verge parapets. West tower, nave and chancel combined, south porch and vestry to north. Decorated details to a simple structure. Tower: small and square in plan of three stages banded at plinth and bell chamber levels; crenellated parapets; chamfered mullion two-light bell chamber opening and labelled 3-light pointed west window. Nave and chancel: the division not apparent from the exterior, of 5½ bays divided by large single stage buttresses banded at cill and impost level of windows which are set high-up, pointed, of 3 lights and have elaborate, mannered-mouchette tracery; large five- light east window with similar tracery; pointed door set to south west in a timber framed gabled porch; to complete the contrast the roof of this is Westmorland slate and the timber brick-nogged. Vestry: gabled of two storeys with a clasping chimney stack to right and single- storey addition to left; pointed, two-light window to apex and labelled, square-headed door to left of gable. The vestry almost competes with the tower giving an unusual assymetrical style to the north elevation and not detracting from the chaste severity of the remainder. Interior: quadripartite ribbed stone vaulted roof of five bays with no break between nave and chancel; moulded pointed arch to tower; deep window reveals have miniature trefoiled ogee head (approx. 600mm high) ambulatory openings which serve to duct heated air from concealed radiators. Oak panelling up to window cill level brattished at head; piscina and sedilia with moulded pointed arches; pulpit faced by three-sided oak front with carved panels; font: marble, octagonal with trefoils in panels and on concave octagonal stand; pews: substantial, simply cut oak; screen: possibly a later addition in oak of 6 bays either side of centre, brattished and crested top rail. B.O.E. p.94.
