Church (Anglican)

Built in 1892-4 and designed by G.E. Halliday for Olivia Talbot, at a cost of over £2,000. The rebuilt church incorporates fabric from its predecessor, but was kept to the same scale. Lavishly decorated at great expense including carving by William Clarke and stained glass by Burlison and Grylls.
