Description

The Parish Church of St Faith features a nave, a chancel that is stepped down and narrower, a south porch, and a north vestry. It is constructed from local rubble with a tiled roof and freestone parapets, topped with a crucifix finial on the east side. The nave includes a central octagonal ventilator and a 3-light Geometric east window, along with cusped lancets on the south side of the chancel, which flank a late-Perpendicular round-headed priest's door. The north vestry has a chamfered, dressed stone doorway. The nave is adorned with cusped 2 and 3-light windows that feature Tudor labels. At the south-east corner of the nave, there is a square chimney stack with robust Victorian detailing. The south porch has timber gates, a wagon roof, and a four-centred inner arch, and it retains an ex situ tombstone dated 1697. The north side of the nave has a possible blocked round-headed window. The battered west end includes a pointed arch doorway that leads to a 3-light reticulated west window, incorporating trefoiled spandrels, and features a twin bellcote that retains bells.

Inside the chancel, there is a carved reredos with floral and fruit carvings on the cornice and spandrels, along with 18th-century wall monuments. The chancel has a Victorian barrel ribbed roof similar to that of the nave and a Victorian chancel arch. A brass plaque on the north wall of the nave commemorates the restoration of the church by Crawshay Bailey. The east window is dated 1872, while the west window was made in 1906 by J Jennings of London.
