Church Of St Giles

The Church of St Giles is a Grade I listed building located on St Giles' Terrace. The church features a 12th-century crossing tower, with its upper stages rebuilt in 1616 and the top renewed in 1914. The west doorway, which dates back to the 12th century, has been reset and restored. The chancel is likely from the 12th century and has been widened, retaining remains of 13th-century lancet windows. The south chapel is from the 14th century, while the north chapel, also from the 14th century, includes windows from 1512. Both the north and south aisles are 14th-century, and the nave is from the 15th century, featuring a 17th-century clerestory. An additional north aisle and rebuilding of the west end, including porches, were completed by E F Law between 1853 and 1855. The chancel was restored in 1876. Inside, there is a 15th-century alabaster table tomb of Paynell-Gobion, along with notable 17th and 18th-century wall monuments and an early 17th-century pulpit. The east window features stained glass created by Clayton and Bell in 1878. The buildings numbered 1 to 8 on the terrace form a group with St Giles' Church and St Giles' Church School.
