Details
Accessibility
"Access to this church is across a field."
Brief description
"This small solitary barn-like chapel of Norman origin stands in the middle of a peaceful field. Without a tower or even a bellcote, it exemplifies simplicity and charm.
The most significant feature is the entrance - this is a Norman door - a huge stone arch with zigzag decoration that is nearly 1,000 years old. Look for the graffiti on the door jamb from 1717.
Inside, there are late Georgian rustic pews, a gallery, a communion table, a pulpit and several layers of wall paintings, some of which feature Georgian biblical texts. A large royal coat of arms is featured on the north wall."
