The Church (no dedication), Moreton Jeffries

A church without a name

Standing in a pretty field, this Medieval church is a long low building, with an attractive small slated bell turret at the west end. The church’s dedication is lost in time.

Built from local sandstone, it dates from the 13th-or early 14th-century and seems to have been extended westward some time after it was first built.

Inside the church has a vernacular appeal, except for the elaborately carved Jacobean pulpit, complete with sounding board and reading desk, which is considerably more sophisticated.
