Church Of St Giles

The Church of St Giles is a church that dates back to the 12th century, with alterations made around 1320 and additional changes in the 13th century. It was restored and partly rebuilt in 1862 by Solomon Hunt, primarily funded by the Reverend H.C. Carleton. The church is constructed of lias and limestone, with some sandstone dressings. The chancel is made of coursed rubble, but the east gable and south wall were rebuilt in regular courses from a height of 4 feet. The nave's south wall and the western part of the north wall are irregularly coursed, while the eastern part of the north wall has been rebuilt. The roofs are tiled with coped gables.

The nave and chancel each consist of two bays that are not perfectly aligned. There is a south-west porch and a bellcote added in 1862. The porch features a Gothic arched door, a hood mould, and low angle buttresses. A blocked Romanesque north door is present, which has scalloped capitals, though the shafts are missing. Most of the windows were added in 1862. The nave includes a straight-headed Decorated south window with three ogee-headed lights, a segmental arch inside, and ballflower decoration. The north window has tracery featuring two cusped crosses, and there are two west lancets along with a central buttress topped with a coping. The bellcote has a clock below and a lead pyramid roof. The buttresses on the north and south walls have largely been renewed.

In the chancel, there is a renewed two-light Decorated east window with hood moulds that extend across the wall. To the north, there are two 13th-century lancets, while the south side has one two-light window and one lancet, both featuring rere arches. The chancel also has diagonal and south buttresses. Inside, the church has simple arch-braced roofs. The chancel contains late 19th-century glass in the east window, along with two small brasses commemorating John Walsingham (who died in 1566) and his wife. In the nave, there is a west door leading to a cupboard and a plain tapered cylindrical font on a moulded octagonal base.
