Brief description
"In a quiet backwater close to Telford
This intriguing church is set in a quiet location only a mile away from central Telford.
The chancel is made from local sandstone and contains an eye-catching ornate arch. This and the small, round windows date from the twelfth century. The nave and tower are eighteenth-century brick additions.
Inside are box pews, galleries and an impressive pulpit with sounding board.
Surrounding the church, the graveyard has some interesting headstones from the eighteenth century and later."
