St Margaret of Antioch

James Thomson (who also designed nearby Grittleton House) built this church in 1846, built using parts of its 12th century predecessor, such as the splendid bellcote which can now be seen at Sevington School one mile to the west. The rest is impressively dramatic. The Gothic gloom of the chancel, with its extravagant reredos, carved and decorated in many colours, contrasts with the tremendous colours of the great west window by Wilmshurst.

This church is cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust
