Parish Church (St Englat), 1798. Rather grand, if uncomplicated, ashlar granite rectangle with cherry-cocking and four large round-headed windows in south wall (glazing mostly original) and door and arched windows in each gable. Undersized ball-capped bellcote on west gable. Organ-chamber 'apse' formed at third south window (James Cobban). Very complete furnishing inside, with excellent original horseshoe gallery, pews and good pulpit of 1825. Bell, 1855, J Warner.
