Church of St Margaret

The Church of St Margaret is a parish church with medieval origins, rebuilt in the early 17th century and around 1788, with restorations in the mid to late 19th century and a more thorough restoration in 1904-05. It features coursed and uncoursed rubble, primarily quartzite to the south and local limestone to the north, topped with a slate roof. The church has a nave and chancel combined, with a belfry at the west end, a south porch, and a lean-to vestry at the northwest corner of the nave.

The nave includes two early 20th-century lancet windows on the south side, each with foliated label-stops on the hoodmoulds. The belfry is weatherboarded and topped with a pyramidal cap and weathervane. A tablet in the west wall commemorates the church's restoration and reopening in 1905, situated below a wide round-headed window, also from 1905.

In the chancel, there is one lancet window in the south wall, matching the style of those in the nave, along with a contemporary three-light east window. The gabled south porch features a segmental arch that leads to an early 17th-century round-headed doorway, which has a nail-studded door inscribed with "Anno Domini 1625 made and given by Humphrey Biggs and Tho. Bright then Churchwardens."

Inside, the church has a tie- and collar-beam roof in four bays with double purlins, with the two western trusses likely dating from the early 17th century. An oak communion table bears the initials TD CP JW 1844, though it may be older. The mid-18th-century wrought-iron communion rail and some contemporary oak panelling have been reused as wainscoting at the east end and around the nave walls. The plain octagonal font originates from Great Hanwood, while all other furnishings and stained glass were added in 1905.

Historically, the church served the Augustinian Priory established in the 12th century, which became a dependent cell of Wigmore Abbey in Herefordshire by around 1209.
