St Helen's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

St Helen’s is a small, rural church that was built in 1847 in the Gothic style. Due to some damage to the roof, the church is currently disused. However, it remains an atmospheric building in a peaceful location and boasts some charming 19th-century stained glass. The church is Grade II-listed.
