CCT's very first vested church

This lovely church from the late 12th-century contains several masterpieces of curious Norman carving – including a chancel arch decorated with several rows of chevrons.

The upper stage of the tower and the north chapel are Perpendicular.

After suffering years of uncertainty and vandalism, this lovely building was the first church to be vested in the Trust in 1971.

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.

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.
