Parish Church Of St Giles

The Parish Church of St Giles is a parish church rebuilt in 1862 by Edward Browning, using reused materials from the original church dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. It features hammer-dressed limestone walls and plain tiled roofs with parapet gables. On the south elevation, there is a bellcote at the west end with double linked gables housing two bells. The church has four clerestory windows with tracery and south aisle windows with square-headed arches and tracery in the Decorated style. The south porch and doorway include early materials in the jambs of two-centred arches. The chancel has two windows with two lancet lights and stopped labels.

Inside, the nave arcades consist of three bays, extended by one bay to the west, incorporating the original two-centred arches supported by octagonal and circular columns with moulded and cushion capitals and moulded bases. The chancel arch is two-centred and has two chamfered orders that spring from moulded corbels. There is an organ chamber with a two-centred archway on the north side of the chancel. The font is a plain octagonal bowl recorded in 1851. For details on monuments and wall plaques, refer to the Victoria County History.
