Built by an 18th century benefactor on medieval foundations it is still furnished with its original Chinese Chippendale benches and Box Pews. Monuments from the former church were saved and include medieval brasses and figurative sculpture probably by Epiphanius Evesham (see Lynsted). Later work includes a short Victorian chancel and 20th century stained glass, the most important of which is surely the NW window by Wilhelmina Geddes, depicting the Prodigal Son. Its colours and form predate Chagall by two generations. There is a more recent SW window of 60 years later. Location, within the park of the big house. Original Build Date/Architect: 1753 Restoration: Wheeler 1894
