The Parish Church of St Stephen, North Dean Road, Copley, is in a French inspired neo-Gothic style built in 1865 for the workers of Edward Akroyd's Copley model village by local architect W.H. Crossland, who also designed the model villages here and in Akroydon. The sanctuary gate and two lecterns were carved by H P Jackson. Jackson (1867-1931), born in Brighouse, set up business in Coley, calling his cottage Morriscot after William Morris. Much of his work is to be found in Calderdale in chapels, churches, war memorials and elsewhere. There is a lychgate at the entrance to the churchyard.
It is a Grade II* listed building.
