Church Of St Giles

The Church of St Giles is a church that was rebuilt in 1875, designed by Messrs. Healey of Bradford, while incorporating elements from the earlier church that once stood on the site. Notable features include the early 12th-century chancel arch, which has been reset between the South Chapel and South aisle, and a late 12th-century doorway that has been reset between the North aisle and the Vestry. Inside the South Chapel, there is a significant mural monument to Nicholas Carre, who died in 1568, as well as a monument to William Wilkins the elder from 1815. The Communion Rails are early 18th-century pieces that were brought from the English Church in Rotterdam. The church is recognized for its outstanding quality due to its collection of medieval and 18th-century elements, along with 19th-century fittings created by some of England's leading church decorators.
