- Preston Gubbals, Shropshire (St Martin's Church)
This charming church has been remodelled many times. It was originally the chancel of a Medieval church. When a large new church was added to it in 1866, St Martin's became its south aisle. Then the new church was demolished leaving this building.
A beautifully preserved 14th-century engraved tomb slab and a 17th-century font survived the changes.
Outside, on the south side, a sundial has been created – possibly in the early 19th-century – on the base of a churchyard cross.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
