Church Of St Margaret

The Church of St. Margaret is a Grade I listed building dating from the 12th century, with restorations from the 17th and 19th centuries. It features rough cast render, stone quoins, and dressings, topped with plain tiled roofs. The church comprises a nave, chancel, south porch, and north vestry.

On the south elevation, there is a stone bellcote on the west gable to the left, and a gabled porch with a round arched opening supported by quarter columns with cushion caps, leading to a 12th-century south doorway that has a round arch, billet mould, and a central beak head. To the right of the nave are two single-light arched windows, restored in the 19th century, and the chancel has one single-light window with a 4-centred arched head beneath a square drip mould.

The north elevation includes a 19th-century gabled vestry to the left of the chancel, two single-light arched windows of 19th-century restoration to the left of the nave, and a blocked 12th-century doorway with chamfered reveals, impost blocks, and a segmental arch to the right of the nave.

Inside, the walls are plastered, and the nave has a 5-bay structure with a roof from 1607 featuring moulded arch braces, carved pendants at the feet, and curved wind braces to the purlins. The chancel arch, restored in the 19th century, is a round arch on quarter columns with fluted caps, leading up to the chancel which has a single bay and a 19th-century timber panelled ceiling. The east window is a 19th-century 2-light arched design with roll moulding and half and central columns with fluted caps. There is a door to the vestry on the north wall.

Notable fittings include a simple carved timber pulpit and a re-set circular font located opposite the south door, which has a worn carved edge and possibly features beak-head ornamentation.
