Church Of St Kenelm

The Church of St Kenelm is an Anglican parish church with medieval origins. It features a north-west tower built around 1450, while the rest of the church was rebuilt around 1802. The structure is made of coursed and dressed rubble stone, set on a plinth with quoins, and has a stone cornice and an embattled parapet, topped with a slate roof. The church has a single large nave with a projecting apsidal chancel, a north-west tower, and an adjoining south-west bay. It consists of three bays, with the central bay being blind to the south. The south side showcases three-light multi-cusped lancets and mouchettes in the Gothick style, while the east window has four lights. The tower is divided into three stages, featuring offsets and stepped diagonal buttresses, a clock face on the north side, and louvred two-light belfry openings on the north and west sides, capped by a pinnacle in the north-east corner. The west side has a large pointed arch door that is moulded and stopped, with a three-light ogee window above it.

Inside, the nave is covered by a sexpartite plaster rib vault. There are 19th-century fittings, including a white marble font from 1820, and a notable collection of marble wall monuments, many dedicated to the Hale family. The porch inside the tower features a medieval tierceron vault adorned with carved angels and grotesque corbels and bosses.
