Church Of St Denys

The Church of St Denys is a Grade II* listed building, primarily dating from the 14th century, with alterations from the 15th century and significant restorations in 1872 and 1890. It is constructed from blue lias rubble stone with red sandstone dressings. The nave features a 14th-century south arcade and aisle, a small Norman window, and Norman flat buttresses on the north wall. The roofs, west window, south porch, and arcade were heavily renewed around 1890. The 14th-century south transept includes an impressive decorated south window and two two-light east windows under a single rear arch. The chancel has a late 14th or early 15th-century east window and renewed south windows, with a chamfered chancel arch that dies into the jambs. The roof dates from around 1872. The north tower is a fine example, consisting of four stages with 14th and 15th-century battlements. There are fragments of 15th-century glass in the south transept window heads. The east window is from around 1850, and the chancel south windows are from around 1870. Inside, there is a fine 19th-century brass corona and a carved wood reredos from around 1890.
