This proud, medieval church stands on the edge of Shobrooke village and, like so many churches in the area, has wonderful views over the rolling, pastoral landscape. The church dates back to the 15th century but the interior is considerably younger, mostly Victorian.

If you hike up the lane opposite towards the village centre, you'll find the holy well embedded into a grassy bank on the eastern side.
