Description

The Church of Saint Gregory is a building with origins dating to the 11th and 12th centuries, with significant alterations in the late 13th, 15th, and 19th centuries. The church is constructed of irregular coursed stone, with stone ashlar facing on the tower. The chancel has an old plain-tile roof, while the nave and tower roofs are not visible.

The building consists of a four-bay chancel, a six-bay nave, and a west tower. There is a stone porch to the left of the centre of the nave, featuring a two-centre arched outer doorway supported by cluster columns. Paired lancet windows are present to the left and right returns of the porch, and an inner two-centre arched doorway leads to the church, featuring a 15th-century wood ribbed door with a smaller inset door. A paired lancet window is located to the left of the nave, and a two-light window with Reticulated tracery is to the right of centre. Further to the right is a two-light window with Geometrical tracery. A two-centre arched doorway with a plank door is located to the left of the chancel, alongside a shouldered lancet window. A Romanesque lancet window, with incised moulding to the head, is at the right of centre of the chancel, and a two-light window with Bar tracery is further to the right. The east end has a three-light Romanesque round-arched doorway with nail-head moulding, flanker lancets, and two two-light windows with Bar tracery to the left of centre. Romanesque lancets are to the left of the chancel, though with 19th-century recarved heads. The tower has a four-centre arched doorway with a studded double-leaf wood door on its west side. A three-light Perpendicular tracery window is on the west face of the second stage, and louvred Y-tracery openings are present on all sides of the bell chamber, topped by a battlemented parapet.

Inside, the chancel features a 19th-century four-bay upper cruck roof. A piscina is located to the right of the altar, and the chancel arch is four-centred. The nave likely has a 19th-century six-bay Perpendicular roof. Late 19th-century pews, a font, and a wood screen are found within the space defined by the segmental pointed tower arch.
