Church Of St Margaret

The Church of St Margaret is a late Perpendicular church, with a largely rebuilt body dating from 1848. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone with slate roofs. The church comprises a chancel, nave, a south porch, and a west tower.

The two-bay chancel has a three-light east window with 19th-century curvilinear tracery and a hood mould with label stops. It also contains a pair of windows to the south, each with straight heads, cinquefoil-headed lights, cut spandrels, and hood moulds, and is defined by diagonal offset buttresses. The nave features two-light windows with Decorated style tracery and hood moulds with label stops. The south door has a hollow chamfer and wave moulding. The south porch has a chamfered doorway with a hood mould. The two-stage west tower has a two-light window with segmental-arched head and hood mould. The bell-chamber has two-light openings with straight heads and hood moulds, topped by a battlemented parapet. The nave and chancel have hollow-chamfered stone eaves, while the nave is defined by diagonal offset buttresses.

Inside the chancel, there is ogee-arched blank arcading to the east end. A double-chamfered chancel arch, continuous in its outermost section, rests on corbels in its innermost section. A double-chamfered tower arch is supported by polygonal responds. The roof is an arch-braced collar truss, dating from the 19th century. The octagonal font has a bowl and stem joined as one, and is panelled with cusped blank arcading and a foliage frieze with heads at the angles. Situated within the church is a dated 1631 hexagonal pulpit with panels featuring short, broad blank arches and strapwork above. One back panel is inscribed with a passage from Exodus 25 verse 22, accompanied by decoration inspired by the description of the mercy seat in that chapter. A pair of brass candle holders are also present. A west gallery curves forward and is supported by simple fluted columns, with a painted inscription reading: "THIS GALLERY WAS ERECTED FOR THE SINGERS ONLY ANNO DOMINI 1831 / BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE PARISHIONERS." 19th-century stained glass windows are located in the south windows of the chancel.

Notable monuments include an Early 14th-century oaken effigy of a cross-legged knight, believed to be Sir William de Combemartyne, who died in 1318. Another monument displays a brass plate in a moulded stone surround, dedicated to Sir John Heselrige, third son of Sir Thomas Haselrige Baronet, who died in 1655, featuring a Latin inscription and arms and a crest.
