The village of Barnwell has two churches, the parish church of St Andrews and the remains of All Saints.

In 1722 a fine early Georgian church was erected to the design of Thomas Eayre of Kettering (1691-1757), surveyor, clock maker, and bell founder (the bells here are by him as well).

A beautifully light open and simple Norman church recorded as being part of an endowment in 1090.

Designed by Edward Pugin, son of Augustus Pugin, and was completed in 1856: amongst its glories is the stained glass.

This church is on the edge of woodland off a lane on the eastern slopes of Long Mountain, looking across the Wales/England border to the Long Mynd, south of Shrewsbury.

Roger de Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, owned most of Shropshire, and it was he who founded this Benedictine abbey in 1083, he is said to have been buried here when he died in 1094.

All Saints is a beautiful Grade II* listed church situated in the heart of the village of Thurlestone on the South Devon coast.

The Edwardian façade hides a much older building.

This rather extraordinary parish church, set on a spacious green hill above the River Severn, stands in stark contrast to Shrewsbury's medieval streets and mainly Tudor townscape.

St Mary’s is as good an introduction to the development of Gothic architecture through the ages as you are likely to find anywhere.

The story of St Helen's is very much tied to the story of the ruined castle just to the south as both castle and church were built in the 1470s by Lord Hastings.

The church of St Gwynog dates back to the 13th century but was largely rebuilt in 1857.
