Salem Baptist Chapel dates from 1765.

Built in 1867 the building is one of Frederick Preedy's more unusual and elaborately detailed designs and the plan and decoration of the chancel are particularly noteworthy.

All Saints was built between 1350 and 1419 by Thomas Babington (one of whose family members was later executed for plotting against Elizabeth I), although there has been a church in the village since at least 1086.

Situated above the River Till on the southern edge of Salisbury plain.

In a tiny hamlet right on the Welsh border, is a very special church, black and white both inside and out, and wonderfully picturesque and rustic looking.

Reference to St Martin’s church occurs in the Matriculus of 1220 when Hugh de Grantmesnil a powerful baron who owned much land in Leicestershire, gave it to the Abbot of Ware, who was Proctor of the monks of St. Evroult in Normandy, France.

Dedicated to St Chad, who died in AD 672, and listed in the Domesday Book, the outline of the present building dates from the 14th century.

A warm, welcoming, friendly church with a history of over 1,000 years.

It is believed that the present building has its origins in 12th century but there was probably an earlier Anglo Saxon or even Celtic church, for the boundary of the original churchyard forms an almost perfect circle, a feature shared with many churches of known Celtic origin.
