St Margaret's Episcopal, 1856, William Ramage. Sitting above and apart in its own beech-tree-lined graveyard, Early English nave and chancel in roughly squared granite, with fine, narrow, moulded lancets, solid buttresses and a sturdy,
yet elegant, broach spire in fine ashlar rising from a tower at the north-east. Interior spare and pleasing with scissors roof truss and two-seat sedilia. Restored 1992. Attractive harled Rectory adjacent, a double house, with dramatic bargeboarded eaves, hood-moulded second-floor windows and a pedimented classical doorpiece between two ground-floor bay windows.
