St. John the Baptist at Inglesham is now cared for by the   Churches Conservation Trust   and is quite extraordinary.   It is quite small and as it doesn't have a spire or tower, the outside is quite different in appearance from other churches.   But go inside the church and you are immediately taken back hundreds of years - this church managed mainly to avoid those Victorian restorations which seemed to drastically change the interiors.

There are various leaflets available inside the church, including a brief history written by Anthony Barnes.   Dates and information shown on our web pages are taken from this leaflet.

Box pews, screens and no lighting proved a difficult combination when it came to taking photographs of the inside.   The photographs in the history leaflet show how they should be taken!
