Church Of St Francis

The Church of St Francis is a church dated 1843, located in Artington, Surrey. It is constructed from coursed sandstone with grey brick dressings, featuring an irregular heathstone tower with stone dressings and some galletting around the south door. The roof is plain tiled, with some patterned sections, and includes a wood-framed and shingled dormer and spire. The church has a nave with a pentice roof to the south, a south porch, and a short square tower at the southeast corner. The tower is supported by angle buttresses and has a roundel on the south side. There are lancet windows under label mouldings, with two on the south side and a three-light, leaded and bargeboarded casement dormer above. The east window is a three-light design with cusped tracery, while the west window is a large four-light mullioned and transomed window under a label moulding. The gabled south porch features a Tudor-style arched entrance.

Inside, the nave and chancel are accompanied by a lobby at the west end. The lobby has three bays with a panelled screen beneath half-wheel glazing that separates it from the nave. The nave consists of three bays and has a stone depressed chancel arch. There are 20th-century fittings present. A small Pieta carving, possibly Flemish, can also be found inside. The building was formerly a school before being converted into a church. It is included for its group value with Long Meadow.
