St Mary’s is both an historic and active church that plays a major role in the life of the Long Crendon community.

St James the Great has a 14th century Decorated Gothic nave and chancel, but was rebuilt in the 19th century.

Pre Norman building of Dufton red sandstone with a fine carved hammer beam chancel ceiling, 11th century tower, unusual tympana, a dual sedilla and a piscina.

Setting and position play a crucial part in the impact of the building and Long Melford's Holy Trinity is perhaps the finest example of this.

St Mary's was built in 1856, on the site of several earlier churches, by the Londonderry family who lived at nearby Wynyard Hall.

Medieval church in the picturesque village of Long Preston on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales in the Ribble Valley with a fine collection of stained glass windows by Jean-Baptise Capronnier.

A trend setting thatched church.

Built in 1717, this is one of the finest Quaker meeting houses in the country.

The church tower is visible for miles around, and is in the 'Levels' style. The figures around the church roof are either gargoyles (water spouts) or Hunky Punks, a local name for grotesque carvings which are not gargoyles.

Long Sutton's tower, standing to one side of the church, was built in the 13th century and, until the 18th century had open arches at its base.

The exterior is mainly Victorianised Perpendicular but there are Norman and 14th century arcades.

St Mary's dating from 1190, has a fine Norman chancel arch as well as good Victorian stained glass and a carved altar and font cover from the early 20th century.
