A lovely, stuccoed Georgian church, built in 1763 by Charles Peers in elegant classical style. The interior is an 18th-century delight, with a west gallery, raised on Italianate columns, overlooking box pews.
St Katherine's is a simple rectangle with a rather odd bell turret, incorporating a clock, which looks more like the sort of classical tower you find on Georgian stable blocks. The lower stage of the turret has clock faces on the south, west, and north faces, with a blue painted face and gilded hands.
The west face displays the date 1762 in gold lettering (when the tower itself was built, as the church was not consecrated until the following year).
The upper stage houses a ring of three small bells, and the entire turret is topped by a gilded weathervane lettered with the words 'St Katherine'.
