St Denys

The church is largely 14th century, with 15th century alterations. It was heavily restored in 1872 and 1890. It was built with blue lias rubble stone with red sandstone dressings. The roofs, west window, south porch and arcade were heavily renewed c.1890.

Due to its location in the flood plain, the church has flooded over the centuries, notably in 1703 and 1770, when some Parish Records were damaged.  The 1886 flood led to the major restoration of the building, then in the more recent past, floods in 1947, 2000, 2007 (severe), 2012 and 2014 are remembered. 

Part of the North wall with its small Norman window forms the earliest part of the building, which was largely re-built in the 14th Century to provide a Chancel, Nave and side aisle.  The substantial tower, possibly added in the 17th Century houses a peel of five bells, four of which were cast in that century and have been overhauled recently.

The medieval church building has no mains water or sewage facilities connected and lies surrounded by its churchyard. The project comprises the installation of mains water, an additional electricity supply and accommodation within the church building at its west end, for a small kitchen and servery, an assisted lavatory and a store.
