Church Of St Alfred The Great Of The West Saxon

The Church of St Alfred the Great of the West Saxon is an Anglican parish church that is now no longer in use. The church features a 14th-century tower, while the rest of the structure was rebuilt in 1845 by T. H. Wyatt. It is constructed of rubble stone with a tiled roof and consists of a nave and chancel under one roof, a west tower, and a south porch.

The gabled south porch has a double-chamfered pointed doorway and a coped verge. On the south side of the nave, there are three 2-light Perpendicular-style windows with hoodmoulds. The east end of the church has diagonal buttresses and a 3-light pointed Perpendicular-style window. The north side of the nave features two 2-light Perpendicular-style windows and one cusped lancet to the left. Adjacent to this is a lean-to vestry with a 2-light window in a 16th-century style, which includes a hoodmould and a chamfered ashlar stack. The chancel has one cusped lancet.

The two-stage west tower has diagonal buttresses, a 3-light Perpendicular-style west window, and a moulded string course at the bell stage. It also features one ogee-cusped light and a plain parapet with saddleback coping. The interior was cleared during the 1970s. The nave and chancel roof has a four-bay design with arch-braced collar and tie-beam trusses resting on stone corbels. There is a double-chamfered tower arch, and a beam in the ceiling of the first stage bears the date and initials: 17. IBB 02. The only remaining fittings include a few 19th-century pews, a limestone reredos with blind arcading, and a bell from 1703 located on the floor of the chancel. The church was declared redundant in 1970 and was empty at the time of the survey in July 1985.
