Church Of St Romwald

The Church of St. Romwald is a church located on the north side of the Main Street in Strixton. The west wall dates from the 13th century, while the rest of the church was rebuilt in 1873. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone with ironstone dressings and features a plain-tiled roof with alternating courses of fishscale tiles. The church consists of a nave, chancel, west turret, and south porch.

The south elevation of the chancel has a two-window range of double lancets, with a square-headed south door to the left and a low-side opening also to the left. Above this, there is a brick relieving arch that likely covers the site of a medieval tomb. The chancel has a simple corbelled cornice and a gabled roof with ashlar parapets. The east window is a triple stepped lancet, with a quatrefoil circle in the gable above and three blank quatrefoils flanking it. The north elevation of the chancel mirrors the south side, featuring a low-side opening to the right.

The south elevation of the nave also has a two-window range of double lancets, with the cornice of the chancel repeated as a string course cutting across the heads of the nave windows. The nave has a gabled roof with ashlar parapets and the base of a finial. The central gabled porch features a double-chamfered outer arch and a double-chamfered and hollow inner arch with flanking shafts. The north elevation of the nave includes a double lancet to the right and a single lancetto to the left, with a central north door.

On the west elevation, there is a 13th-century triple stepped and chamfered door opening with two orders of shafts. Above this is a 13th-century sexfoil window with a wavy surround, and a 19th-century circular opening above it. To the right of the door, there is a 13th-century slit window with a cusped head. Fragments of earlier projecting masonry can be seen to the left and right of the west door. The 13th-century west turret is built into the west gable, featuring a bell-chamber opening to the west under a wooden lintel and small single light openings to the east and west. The turret has a saddleback roof.

Inside, there is a piscina with dog-tooth decoration, a simple screen, and a 17th-century communion rail with turned balusters. The west window contains 19th-century stained glass.
