Summary Description

Although not a large or sumptuous church, Cloughfold has several features which mark it unmistakably as the work of the Paley and Austin partnership. One is the wide nave, with narrow passage aisles, which gives a welcoming aspect to anyone entering at the west end. Another is the pairing of the cross-gables of the transepts. Perhaps the most familiar feature of the Paley and Austin style is the use for window tracery of free Perpendicular forms.
