Church of St Bridget

The Church of St Bridget is a parish church that originated in the 13th century, with most of its structure dating from the 15th century. It underwent significant rebuilding around 1882. The church is constructed from coursed and squared rubble, featuring coped verges, cruciform finials, and slate roofs. It has a nave, chancel, and a south tower with an entrance porch at the ground floor, showcasing Perpendicular architectural features. The tower is a plain squat saddleback style, created after being struck by lightning, and includes a stone plaque on the west side inscribed with "John Binchen Churchwarden 1729," commemorating the rebuild.

The south entrance has a plain semi-circular head door opening with a 19th-century ribbed door, and within the porch is a stoup. The inner door, dating from the 13th century, has two recessed orders. The nave consists of three bays and features three-light windows, with those on the south side having cambered heads. The center window on the west wall retains the last original tracery, while the north windows have rere-arches. The chancel, built in the 19th century, is a single bay and includes a chancel arch flanked by two corbels carved as heads from the late 14th century, which originally supported a lenten veil.

Inside the chancel, there is a reused scalloped piscina from the 15th century set on an encaustic tile floor, along with a 19th-century stone reredos, altar rail, and stalls featuring poppy heads. The pulpit is dated 1620, and there is a lectern carved as a bold eagle from 1892. The church also has a carved octagonal font from the 14th or 15th century on a base with foiled niches, a full set of 19th-century pews with plain thin poppy heads, and a remaining 15th-century pew under the tower. A tablet commemorates Edmund Hicks from 1893, created by Cox of Weston. There is a late 18th-century strong-box under the tower and two 19th-century chairs in the chancel. The nave and chancel have 19th-century arched braced roofs. The tower houses three pre-Reformation bells, and all windows feature simple leaded lights and stained glass. The church is believed to have been established on this site in the 6th century, likely by Irish monks, and is dedicated to the Celtic saint, St Brigit of Kildare.
