About this Church

Appealingly simple

Set near a beautiful village green, this unusual barrel-vaulted neo-Norman church is appealingly simple inside and out, but has many interesting furnishings including: a Jacobean pulpit; a seventeenth-century communion table; a series of carved panels in the vestry; a vestry door from York Minster.

Tiers of pews range along three walls in college chapel style.
