Parish church
Nave and chancel in one. N arcade with plain, round early 13thc. piers and 19thc. capitals and arches. Bellcote. Drastically restored and mostly rebuilt in 1872. Red sandstone ashlar.
Parish church
The church, largely built of rubble, has a W tower, a nave with N and S aisles, a N porch, a N transept and an aisleless chancel. Herringbone masonry in the chancel walls suggests that this part of the church was built before 1100, but the rest is 13thc. and later. The parapets are of ashlar, the roofs being gabled and modern. Romanesque carved fragments are reset into the exterior and interior walls of the porch, and into the interior walls of the nave, all of later medieval date. Romanesque sculpture is also found on the font.
Parish church
The church has an aisled nave (the S arcade Romanesque, the N of 1887) and a later medieval chancel and SW tower. Romanesque sculpture is found in the W doorway of the nave, moved from the N wall in 1831, and in the S nave arcade.
Parish church
Built of grey coursed rubble, the church consists of a 12thc. nave and chancel, both without aisles, and a 19thc. tower inserted into the W end of the nave. Romanesque sculpture is found in the S and N nave doorways, the latter now blocked, in a window and string course on the E chancel wall, and in the chancel arch; there are also some carved fragments inset into the interior chancel wall. A 19thc. sketch records the appearance of the Romanesque W front, which was moved to the vicarage grounds when the W tower was built.
Parish church
The church, built of tufa with ashlar facing both inside and out, comprises a 12thc. nave and chancel, both without aisles. The chancel was extended in the 14thc., and in 1825 the W nave wall was replaced by a brick tower. According to the church guide, the tufa comes from a deposit four miles to the E. The VCH records restorations to the fabric in 1864 and 1889. Romanesque sculpture is found in the S doorway of the nave, in the arcading above it and on the font. There are also two carved panels inset into the E nave wall inside, and two panels reset into the S nave wall outside.
Parish church
Built of red and white sandstone ashlar, partly laid in different coloured bands, the church comprises a 12thc. aisleless nave continuing directly into a 13thc. and 14thc. chancel, which widens slightly towards the E. Red sandstone W tower of the 15thc., angled slightly to the N. Medieval wall paintings, none Romanesque, were found during the restorations of 1909. Romanesque sculpture is found in the S and N doorways, the latter now blocked.
Parish church
Built of grey stone rubble, the church consists of a W tower, a nave with S porch, N and S transepts and a chancel with N vestry and organ chamber. Only the font bears Romanesque sculpture.
Parish church
Of sandstone rubble with tufa dressings: 12thc. nave, extended westwards in 13thc., 12thc. chancel with E wall of 1866, timber bell-turret with shingled spire and a modern S porch. Plain chancel arch with plain chamfered
imposts; plain font. Romanesque sculpture is found on a reset panel above the S nave doorway.
Parish church
The red sandstone church has an aisled nave, a chancel, a W tower and a S porch entrance. The chancel was rebuilt in 1754, the N aisle and arcade were added by Rickman in 1826, and the church was largely rebuilt in 1858-65. Fragments of Romanesque voussoirs have been reused as corbels beneath the guttering of the modern porch, and in 1984 a carved stone panel was found under the plaster of the E wall of the S nave aisle.
Parish church
This large church has an aisled nave with a slender tower over its central bay, a chancel with N and S chapels, and a S porch. The two W bays of the nave are 12thc., but the E part was rebuilt and extended in the 15thc., presumably after the collapse of a crossing tower; the present 15thc. tower is set much further W (Pevsner 1968, 179-80). An outer aisle was added on the S side of the church in 1883. The church is built of red sandstone ashlar, except for the top of the tower and the spire, which are of grey-green sandstone. Romanesque sculpture is found in the reset doorway on the S side of the nave, in the W doorway, in the blind arcade on the exterior E chancel wall, on corbels reset into the 14thc. S porch, in the chancel arch and on the font. In the N wall of the chancel is a plain round-headed window.
