Description

The Church of St. Margaret is a parish church located in Witton, originally built in the medieval period and partially rebuilt in 1857. It is constructed of flint and brick, topped with a plain tile roof. The church features an internal west tower, a south porch, a nave, and a chancel. The square west tower, dating from the 15th century, rises above the roof line into a 17th-century octagonal second stage, which has a battlemented parapet with alternating square and triangular merlons. The tower is made of flint with brick dressings and includes a 19th-century two-light west window and a single-light brick honeycomb sound hole with a two-centred arch. The belfry openings are honeycomb brick with 'Tudor' arches.

The nave consists of five bays, with 19th-century buttresses on the north side and an irregular arrangement of two and three-light 19th-century windows. There is a blocked 12th-century doorway at the west end, featuring a semi-circular arch. On the south side, there are three 19th-century lancet windows to the west of the porch and one two-light 19th-century window to the east. The 19th-century porch has lancets on the east and west sides and a parapet gable. Inside, the south door has a single splayed opening and a hood mould with label stops. The chancel, also from the 19th century, has linked lancets on the north and south sides and three stepped lancets on the east. The east side features gable buttresses, while the north and south sides have set-back buttresses. The parapet gables are adorned with carved stone kneelers and cross finials at the apex. The interior is primarily from the 19th century, and there is a brass memorial to Juliana Anyell, dating from around 1500.
