About

This is a rare opportunity to see a church that is usually closed. On the day, tours and easy-to-read guides are provided; paper quizzes (for both children and adults, separately) are available; and refreshments will be available. Free tours will be on the hour. There will also be demonstrations of bell-ringing, and our organist will be present to play the historic organ.
Detailed booklet-guides available. Donations on the day will also be most welcome.

You will find out why St Margaret and the Draycott family are associated with dragons, and be able to take a guess at what the 2500-year old (yes!… it’s from the Iron Age...) ‘sink’ was really used for.
Some of the oldest living creatures in the county are to be found in the churchyard: the yew trees here go back beyond the Norman Conquest. Also in the churchyard are two more listed monuments, and some quaint verses inscribed on the headstones (guides available).
The memorial to the village’s killed-in-action of the two world-wars is unusual in that it features a woman; she was a nurse on her way to help the wounded.
