Church of St Margaret

The Church of St. Margaret is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period, with restorations completed in 1891 and 1894. It features a nave, chancel, south porch, and north vestry, constructed from flint and stone rubble, with remnants of old plasterwork and stone dressings, all topped with plaintiled roofs. The nave, originally from the 13th century, was partly rebuilt and heightened in the early 16th century using red brick. At the west end, there is a lancet window flanked by trefoil-headed statue niches, which are currently empty. The church has early 16th-century two-light brick windows, with two located on the south side and one on the north. The south doorway dates back to the 13th century, while the porch was added in 1894. A weatherboarded bell turret is positioned at the west end of the nave roof.

The chancel, also from the 13th century, includes a broad lancet window on the south side, an original Priest's doorway, and a two-light 15th-century window. The east window is a well-preserved two-light window featuring Y tracery and internal shafts, with a narrow 13th-century lancet window on the north side. The nave roof, constructed in the 15th century, is arched-braced with five bays, featuring a moulded and crenellated wallplate and bracing between the wallposts. The rood beam remains in place, with stud and plasterwork above it, while the chancel roof is plastered over.

A notable feature is the 15th-century carved octagonal font, which has four lions depicted against the stem. The nave also contains a good set of 18 poppyhead bench ends, two of which have carved armrests and are believed to have originated from the now-demolished Linstead Magna church. Additionally, there is a simple pointed-arch piscina located in the south sanctuary. The church is designated as Grade I due to its intact medieval fabric.
