c. 1786 | The gate piers and walls at the entrance to Eastwood House, which was demolished in 1928, are in sandstone. The walls are curved on a plinth, with square-cut copings, and they link the gate piers to less elaborate end piers. Each pier has a rusticated shaft with a sunken panel, and fluting under a band. The gate piers have a frieze with paterae and a cornice, and are surmounted by carved bowls; on the left pier is inscribed "EASTWOOD", and on the right "HOUSE". The end piers have domed tops.[2][3] |

1872–74 | Originally St Stephen's Church, the steeple was added in 1910, and the chancel was extended in 1912. The church is built in sandstone with a Welsh slate roof, and is in Gothic Revival style. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a northwest porch, a chancel with a north vestry and a separately-roofed extension to the south, and a southwest steeple. The steeple has a tower with angle buttresses surmounted by gablets and a west door with a pointed arch, above which are lancet windows, two-light bell openings, a corbel table and a string course with corner gargoyles, a parapet with moulded copings, and a recessed octagonal spire with crockets. In the angle of the porch is an octagonal bell turret with a spirelet.[5][6] |
