St Denys' Church is a redundant Anglican church, designed on 13th July 1964, it is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

The oldest fabric in the church is in the nave and the chancel and dates from the Norman era. Alterations and additions took place in the 14th, 15th and 19th centuries. The tower and the clerestory were built in the 15th century. In 1834 a south chapel was demolished and was replaced in 1869 by a vestry and organ chamber. The church closed in 1972, two years later was vested in the Redundant Churches Fund.

I really loved this church and I kept getting the urge to clean - I could just imagine how nice the floor would look if it wasn't covered in so much dirt. It probably doesn't get many visitors as it sits quite far back from the road and isn't very visible. It's one of the nicest churches I have been in so far :)

Exceeding expectations once again Rubex. Fantastic photos and a nice little write up. I particularly like the fact that "Barford" couldn't fit the tapestry so the B was offset!
 
i may have to head up to this one when i get a weekend off.

I definitely recommend you visit here Rockfordstone! It really is a lovely church and not too far from you either :) the light coming in through the stained glass windows makes for some lovely photos, unfortunately you can't see the full effect with my camera!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone :)
