Church of St Helen

The Church of St Helen is a small church built in 1830 by Thomas Rickman for Hon. Frederick Bertie. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with 20th-century artificial stone-slate roofs. The church features a chancel, nave, and vestry in the Perpendicular style. The 2-bay chancel has single-light side windows and a 3-light east window set under a triangular recess. The 3-bay nave includes 2-light side windows and a shallow stone-roofed south porch located to the left of the center. Some windows display simple tracery, and all are adorned with heavy hood moulds that have head stops. The west end features a small arched doorway, three plain lancets in the gable, and a square stone belfry topped with a stone spirelet that has lucarnes and a cross finial. There is also a small lean-to vestry on the north side of the chancel. Inside, the roof is supported by queen-post trusses with curved braces and pendants. Notable interior elements include a Norman tub front with chevron moulding, early 20th-century stained glass, and a ledger commemorating Mrs. Jane Nares, who died in 1738, featuring an oval armorial relief.
