Fincham is a village in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk district, ten miles S of King's Lynn. The church stands in the village centre, and is an imposing mid-15thc building of flint and carstone with ashlar dressings, consisting of a 5-bay aisled nave with a S porch, a chancel and a 3-stage W tower. The only Romanesque feature is an early-12thc font, brought to St Martin's from the former church of St Michael, Fincham, a 12th and 13thc church demolished in the mid-18thc.

The only Romanesque feature is the S doorway.
Parish church
Worle is a setlement in N Somerset adjacent to Weston-super-Mare. Although it predates its famous neighbour by many centuries, it is now hardly distinguishable from the Weston conurbation. The church of St Martin stands, with remnants of the village, on the fairly steep S flank of Milton Hill (limestone and a westerly extension of the Mendips), at about 16m above sea-level at the junction between Keuper Marl and Goblin Combe Oolite. There is quite a fine view S from the church across to Bleadon Hill. St Martin's church consists of nave, N aisle, chancel, S porch and W tower. It is believed to have been built in 1125 and rebuilt during the 14thc and 15thc, with major restoration and extension work in 1870. It apparently incorporates misericords from Woodspring Priory. The Romanesque elements include the S doorway, a reset window in the S porch, a corbel at the SW corner of the nave and a possible font.
Parish church
The present parish church is formed from the medieval nave of a church which had been collegiate. The ruined 14th-century chancel is of interest (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 606). Outside of it, immediately to the east of the chancel window, stands a cross which may be 12th century.
Parish church
The village of Shutford is 4.5 miles W of Banbury. St Martin's church dates from the late C12th and for many centuries it constituted a chapelry within Swalcliffe parish. The small stone building now comprises a chancel, nave, a narrow N aisle with a tower at its W end, and a wide N transept or chapel built at an angle towards the NNE. In the C13th the N aisle was extended eastwards by one bay, the N transept was added and the nave rebuilt. The surviving parts from the late Romanesque are the Transitional N aisle with an arcade of two pointed arches supported by a round pier and responds with scallop capitals, and a round-headed W window in the ground stage of the tower, probably the original W window of the N aisle. There is also a Romanesque font.

The church, of dressed stone, coursed rubble and ashlar comprises a chancel, a nave, a S porch and a W tower; the tower, nave and chancel are substantially dated to the 14thc, with 15thc- and 16thc-additions and features. The E parts of the church and the S porch were built in the 19thc and form part of the 1866 restoration carried out by Ewan Christian. The only Romanesque feature in the church is the font.

The church is of limestone rubble, partly rendered with ashlar dressings. The present nave, S and N doorways, and the chancel responds date from the 12thc. The chancel was rebuilt in the early 13thc and lengthened in the 14thc, when the transept, porch and tower were added. It is now cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust.
Parish church
The church is one of the smallest in Wiltshire. It has chequered walls of flint rubble and ashlar, and comprises a chancel and a nave without a division between them. The 12thc. font and a lancet window in the north wall suggest an early origin, but other windows and the west and south doorways are of dates from the late 15th to the early 17thc.
