A tiny church that has survived earth tremors

This tiny unspoilt gem of a Norman church stands on a knoll above Goodnestone Court, a half-timbered building from the 15th-century.

Inside, part of the rood-loft staircase, two piscinae and a tomb which may have been used as an Easter Sepulchre, survive from Medieval times.

There is a miniature 19th-century font, Willement glass in the east window and two 16th-century brass’ inscriptions to a couple who both departed ‘in the fayth of Christe’.

A rustic tiled and timbered bell-cote crowns the nave, and the porch was rebuilt in 1837 after an earth tremor.
