In 1903-04 St Bride's red sandstone Church, now 'B' Listed, was designed by G F Bodley and H O Tarbolton in the Gothic Revival style, but was constructed minus the south aisle and north-west cloister. In 1913-16 the tower was added by H O Tarbolton. In the fine interior, the two earliest stained glass windows (1919-20), are by artist Edward Woore.
