Description
The Church of St. Giles is a parish church located on the south side of Whaddon Road in Tattenhoe. It is likely from the 16th century and constructed from older materials. The building features rubble stone with diagonal stone buttresses at the west end, brick buttresses along the south side, and at the east end of the north side. It has an old tile roof topped with a small weatherboarded and louvred tiled gabled bellcote. The church has a rectangular plan and includes three stone mullioned windows with square heads, hoodmoulds, and cusped lights. The chancel's south window has an arched head. Inside, there are 19th-century panelled box pews and a pulpit, along with a small 18th-century font of unusual design, which has a small bowl with large egg and dart decoration supported on short reused stone shafts from the 13th century.
