The Church of England Church and schools stand at the north-west angle of Market and Church streets. The church is 100 feet long, the east end being occupied by a large five-light stained glass window, one of the best in the country, inserted to the memory of Hrs. Elizabeth Rouse, who died on the 1st of March, 1863. The nave is lighted by eleven two-light windows in the side walls, and three at the west end, and is calculated to hold 46 adults; the choir is powerful, efficient, and in good practice. The way, however, in which children are allowed to gallop about the church at any other but service time, is not creditable to the authorities. The main entrance is through a partially erected tower on the south, the vestry being on the north1 .
