{1} Opened in 1917, St Josephs was built to serve the Roman Catholics in the parish. Now a private dwelling, the former church sits near to the Old Wesleyan Chapel and the Hinton Methodist Chapel, and shows the development of faith and worship in the village from the late 19th to early 20th century. The building has a simple design and is constructed of local regular coursed ironstone. It is set side on to the road in an east-west orientation. The eastern gable contains a gothic arched doorway, with a segmented ironstone arched surround. A gothic arched window sits above
with similar segmented ironstone surround. The gable is coped with kneelers, and a small ironstone belfry sits at the apex of the gable end. The northern frontage has five bays with five gothic arched windows with segmented ironstone surrounds. The roof is slate. Each corner of the building has ironstone quoins. An ironstone wall runs west from the western gable with ironstone piers and ball finials, up to No.31. The traditional fenestration and doorway have been replaced in its conversion
to a dwelling.
