Description

The Church of St Giles is a parish church that dates from the 11th to the 16th century. It is constructed of rubble and has a plain tile roof. The building features a nave, a chancel, and a short west tower, with the Foxe Chapel located to the north. The nave is of Norman origin and includes a later painted doorway, while the chancel, added around 1300, features a double chamfered chancel arch. The Foxe Chapel was established around 1555 and has a plain plastered barrel vault roof with a moulded cornice.

Inside the church, there are several notable monuments, including brasses commemorating William Foxe and his wife, along with kneeling children, dated 1554; an altar-shaped monument to Edward Foxe from around 1610, which has a lid supported by columns; a monument to Dorothy Charlton from around 1658; and a tomb for Sir Job Charlton, dated 1697, which features a recumbent effigy on a tomb chest with Ionic pilasters and a back with a semi-circular top flanked by two vases.
