Description

The Church of Saint Margaret is a parish church, made redundant in 1978, dating to the 12th and 13th centuries, with a subsequent restoration in 1846. The church is constructed of ironstone and chalk rubble with squared blocks, featuring limestone ashlar dressings. Some brick patching is visible on the north side, and the roof is covered with Welsh slate. The building comprises a three-bay nave with a west bellcote and a single-bay chancel. The nave has buttresses to the west. Blocked pointed arches and a single plain moulded capital of a former arcade are visible in the south wall, alongside a reset pointed chamfered south door and lancet. A much-restored pointed two-light window with Y-tracery is also present. A single lancet and a restored two-light Y-traceried window illuminate the north side. The bellcote is characterized by quoins, twin round-headed arches, and a coped gable. The chancel contains a small round-headed lancet and a much-restored three-light east window with its original hoodmould and 19th and 20th-century intersecting tracery. Inside the chancel, a pointed double piscina is set into the east wall. A much-worn 13th-century ashlar grave slab with a cross in relief has been re-set in the sanctuary floor. An inscribed brass wall tablet commemorating Elizabeth Humfray of 1637 is re-set in a 19th-century columned ashlar surround. A restored cylindrical Norman font features a carved band of saltire crosses.
