- Farndish, Bedfordshire (St Michael's Church)
This tiny church dates from around 1200 and has a great sense of peace and serenity.
The gorgeous Early English doorway of this tiny church alternates bands of orange ironstone with grey limestone which creates an eye-catching polychrome effect.
Inside, there is an elegant curved ogee arch over a 14th-century window and attractively carved corbels around others.
The low tower was added in the 15th-century. Other things of interest include a plain Norman font with a pretty 17th-century cover, carvings and some solid 19th-century oak furnishings.

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.
