GV II
Church, formerly probably of the Holy Epiphany Lache and Saltney Parish. 1855. By James Harrison. Red sandstone with grey slate roof, gable towards road. EXTERIOR: west front has double framed and boarded doors on wrought-iron hinges in a moulded Gothic archway set in a projecting panel with side-buttresses; diagonal stepped buttresses at corners; triple lancets with sharply pointed ogee arches above entrance. Except for the entrance panel the masonry is rock-faced squared snecked rubble. Coped gable with kneelers and cross-gabled finials. The 4-bay nave has stepped buttresses, some to south badly eroded, and lancets. Lower, narrower, one-bay chancel has diagonal corner buttresses, a small pair of lancets with a trefoil window in east gable above. The nave windows appear to have Art Nouveau glass. INTERIOR: the nave has boarded floor, boarded dado, plastered walls, 3 arched trusses and exposed purlins and rafters. Original pews; the room east of nave, probably formerly the chancel, is now walled off up to the springing of the arch which contains loft with pipe organ. HISTORICAL NOTE: James Harrison had prepared more ambitious plans for a church capable of extension, at the junction of Boundary Lane and Green Lane, Saltney and there was to have been a school for 140 children. The more modest building adjacent to the north side of the church, not included in this item, appears to have been designed as a school, mid C19.
