Church of Our Lady of Egmanton

Egmanton appears in a Domesday Book entry for 1085 as among the possessions of Roger de Busli, but there is no mention of a church or priest. In the early eighteenth century it became the custom in Egmanton for couples who had been married in the church to give a cake to the church bell ringers, who in turn would inscribe their names in the belfry. The list was removed as part of the restoration work done at the end of the 19th century.

Parts of the church date back to Anglo-Saxon times. The stone building has a chancel, clerestoried nave, a north aisle of four bays, a south transept and a west tower. The windows in the south transept are late fourteenth century. The west tower was built in the 15th century. Romanesque features are a plain south doorway, the north arcade and the font. The three bells in the tower are by the foundry of John Taylor & Co.
