A simple church in a picturesque setting

This handsome Medieval church stands in a picturesque, secluded setting by a manor and gatehouse.

It was built in the 12th century, with the with an arcaded north aisle and impressive square tower added in the 15th.

Plastered inside, and lit through clear glass windows, it retains a simple elegance that is surprising given its secluded spot.

Keyholder

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.

Disabled access

There are steps up into churchyard and up again into church.

Facilities

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.
