History
The church was built between 1877 and 1878, and was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin.[2]
Architecture
St Clement's is constructed in red brick and terracotta and has a tiled roof. Its plan consists of a seven-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, and a chancel. Above the chancel is a flèche with cladding in Westmorland slate. Along the aisles are seven three-light windows. The clerestory contains round windows. At the east end are buttresses; it contains a five-light window, above which are three stepped blind lancets. Inside the church the arcades are carried on round sandstone piers. The chancel is floored with Doulton tiles, and on its walls are murals, also in Doulton tiles. It also contains a tripartate sedilia. Part of the nave has been partitioned to form a meeting room.[2][3] The two-manual organ was built by Willis.[4]
