St. Matthew's was built 1835-37 and is by Charles Baker of Painswick. It has a west tower with diagonal buttresses and tall pinnacles. The nave has a segmental plaster tunnel-vault; six-bay north and south arcades with four-centred arches on elegant quatrefoil cast-iron columns. There is stained glass in the church by James Powell & Sons; Burlison & Grylls; Joseph Bell & Son; and Belhan & Co.
