Description

The Church of St. Giles is a parish church that was originally built in the Norman style but underwent significant rebuilding in 1828. It features rubble stone construction and tiled roofs. The west tower, which dates back to the 14th century, is squat and topped with a pyramid roof. The south doorway is a Norman feature, adorned with chevron ornamentation on the arch, a tympanum carved with Christ in Majesty, and a lintel displaying interlaced arcading. The south wall of the nave includes a 19th-century two-light window, while the north wall has two re-used Perpendicular windows. The chancel contains a small Norman doorway on the north wall, which has a carved tympanum depicting a Lamb on a diaper background, though it is much worn. There are also small lancet windows in the chancel, along with a decorated three-light east window featuring 19th-century glass. The interior is plain, highlighted by an Early English chancel arch supported on consoles. On the north wall of the nave, there is a wall monument dedicated to Mary Franckysh from 1629, which features incised figures.
