Find a church

A remote and romantic place.

Kilpeck is a modest village hidden away in west Herefordshire, but its church is world famous for its 12th century sculpture and carving, made by a group of mason/sculptors known as the Herefordshire School.

Built in 1860 and situated on rising ground and prominent on the main through road of Kelsall village.

The origins of the church go back to 1887 when a preaching station was set up in a house in Faulkner Street, in 1908 a small site was bought in Walker Street and a 'tin tabernacle' was erected as a Congregational Church.

This is not what you expect to find on the lanes of Herefordshire: a church seemingly plucked from southern Italy and plopped down beside the Wye.

Grade II listed building built in 1842.

The small church is of Celtic origin first recorded in 1253 and possibly built on the site of a monastery with a circular churchyard.

This will be the first church that many people visit when exploring the beautiful and aptly named Golden Valley.

Poised dramatically on the edge of the Churnet Valley, this complex of fine buildings by AWN Pugin was designed to place the Catholic Church at the heart of the village community.

Named after Deiniol, one of the major Welsh saints,there has been a church on this elevated site since the 6th century, the congregation is proud of the church’s association with the family of Victorian Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone.

The west entry through the tower porch into its splendid Georgian nave is an architectural surprise and constant attraction to visitors.
