About this Church
A pair of eccentric churches
This strange and beautiful church is one of two in the same village churchyard. Until they were amalgamated in 1667, the two neighbouring parishes had their own churches. They both then saw varied fortunes including periods of dereliction until St Mary's became the formal parish church for both. St Cyriac & St Julitta has a fifteenth-century octagonal bell tower and a ring of six bells. The elegant Georgian interior, a large, open space with n opews, has fantastic acoustics
