Parish church
Brixton Deverill is a small village 4 miles S of Warminster. The church has a 13thc chancel arch and a short W tower of the 13thc and 15thc. The only Romanesque carving is the font that was brought from Imber Church when that village became a military training ground in the Second World War.
Parish church
Shalfleet church forms the core of the small nucleated village of the same name a little inland the island’s NW coast and to the S of a series of fleets draining into the Solent. The church consists of a substantial W tower, nave, S aisle, N and S porches and the chancel. The massive tower is slightly wider than the nave. The main entrance to the church is through the N porch and the doorway with a tympanum above. The lower parts of the N wall of the nave would appear to be contemporary with this doorway, with much of the wall being rebuilt in 1812. The S arcade of the nave of four bays was constructed in the mid to late 13thc and the chancel rebuilt at about this time. The north porch was constructed in 1754 (Lloyd and Pevsner 2006, 259-261). The Romanesque features are the N doorway to the nave and the W tower.
Parish church
The church consists of a chancel with S vestry, nave with S
aisle, N porch and W tower. While the chancel arch dates from the 12thc., the nave and chancel appear to be 13thc. The tower and S aisle were added in the early
14thc. One of the two bells in the truncated tower is said to date from before 1200.
The church was much restored between 1884-89.
Parish church
Emley is a village in the West Riding, now in the Kirklees Metropollitan Borough, 6.4 miles E of Huddersfield and 7.1 miles W of Wakefield. The church is in the village centre and is dominated by the tall 15thc W tower. It has a nave with a N aisle and a S porch and a chancel with a two-bay north aisle, with a small vestry N of the aisle. The S wall of the nave is of rough coursed rubble, probably 12thc, and the rest is of coursed ashlar and probably 15thc. The nave may have been partly rebuilt (possibly incorporating an older south aisle) in the 13th or 14th cent, then the whole church was remodelled in the late 15th or early 16th cent. with the addition of tower, north aisle and chancel chapel. The chapel was extended to form a burial chapel for the Assheton family in 1632. The interior was restored in 1874. The Romanesque material consists of a tympanum depicting the Lion and the Lamb and 4 engaged capitals, all set inside the church.

The church of St Michael is Grade 1 listed and is described by Pevsner as a 'handsome Pennine church, Perp. throughout' (Leach and Pevsner 2009, 369-70). It is essentially a late medieval church with aisled nave and chancel (without achancel arch); it retains a 12th-century font.
