Church of St Gregory

The Church of St Gregory dates to 1852-5 and was designed by T. Talbot Bury. The Norman tower was later taken down and rebuilt in the late 19th century. The church is constructed of flint, some squared and knapped, and some knapped with Ferricrete, featuring Bath stone dressings and a tiled roof. It comprises a tower, nave, aisles, chancel, and a south porch. The design incorporates a heavy stone moulded plinth, buttresses, a moulded string at cill level, and gable parapets.

The round tower is tall, with a first stage featuring semicircular headed windows to the north, south, and west. The second stage above a moulded string transitions to an octagon, with two-light pointed arched louvres. The upper section features coupled columns supporting a blind arcade and a stone spire with two-light gabled louvres at its base, along with clock faces to the north and south.

The south elevation includes the tower on the left. To its right are four bays of the south aisle, incorporating a south porch with a two-centred arched doorway beneath a stone coped parapetted gable, a central niche with a statue, and flanking clasping buttresses with gabled, crocketted, and finialled caps. Three windows follow. Bays are divided by buttresses, with an angle buttress at the right end. The chancel, to the right of three bays, contains plain lancet windows and a blocked doorway with a Caernarvon-arched head.

Inside, the nave and aisles have four bays, with an arcade of two-centred arches springing off compound piers with foliage capitals. The roof features double purlins, arch braced collar construction with curved wind-braces to the nave and scissor trusses with cusped bracing to the aisles. The three-bay chancel has a stone vaulted roof, carved leaf bosses, and ribs springing off leaf capitals on marble colonnettes. A pointed arched arcading forms sedilia along the walls, and a stone access stair leads to the pulpit, built into the north side of the chancel arch.

The church contains various fittings, including reset brasses on the south wall of the chancel, depicting John Younge, his family, and a cleric. A monument to the Reverend Thomas Shirley and his family (dated 1753) is on the west wall of the north aisle; it's a rectangular tablet with a shouldered architrave, cambered top, and an obelisk surmounted by a draped lamp in coloured marbles. The tower houses five marble tablets, one featuring a portrait bust, commemorating the Mundy family of the late 17th century. On the west wall of the south aisle is a reset monument with a kneeling female figure in a niche flanked by Ionic columns supporting a frieze and aedicule. Beneath it is a tablet depicting kneeling figures of 12 girls and 7 boys, bearing a Latin inscription to Anna, daughter of William Rede, wife of Adrian Fortescue and Thomas Parry, who died in 1585 at the age of 75. A 11th-century arcaded font sits on a 20th-century base.
