Background
History
The four-stage tower was erected, around 1484, as a landmark and is visible from many parts of Avon. The rest of the church was built in 1861 by G.B. Gabriel, replacing the previous medieval building. In 2015 the church was closed because of safety concerns due to falling plaster from the ceiling. Repairs to the roof were estimated to cost £225,000. Following a fundraising campaign, which included grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and others, the church was able to re-open in September 2018 after extensive renovations.
Architecture
The four-stage tower is 97 ft high and is a prominent feature in its hill-top position with its tower visible for many miles around.
