St Saviour (now)
Parish church
Puxton is a small village 5 miles NW of Axbridge in N Somerset. The church, which is hidden in a quiet setting behind some houses, consists of a W tower (which has a significant lean to the W due to it being built on peaty soil), nave, chancel and N porch. The church is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The sole Romanesque feature is a tub font.
Parish church, formerly chapel
The church was built on the site of the old church in 1880 by G.E. Street after it had become a parish in 1877. The church contains three short Romanesque columns, kept as fragments at the W end of the new building.
Parish church, formerly hospital chapel
Stydd is a small collection of buildings - the church, cottages, a farm and an 18thc Roman Catholic church - a very short walk from Ribchester. The church is a single-celled building, with an Early English S doorway, and an E window with intersecting tracery. The N wall has two small lancets, while the S wall has a very tall narrow one. The W wall has a Y-tracery window, and a blocked opening high up. The monastic buildings seem to have been to the N of the church, but excavations have not proved conclusive. There are now some sheds erected over the area.
