A Cycling Journey

June 10, 2021

The church of All Saints at Froxfield is a Grade 2* listed building, located on the western side of the village.

It was originally built in the 12th century, from which period the nave remains. The chancel was rebuilt in the 13th century; windows were inserted in the church when it was renovated in the late 19th century.

The majority of the building is built of flint and sarsen stone (a kind of sandstone found on Salisbury plain, not particularly well-suited for use as a building material), with the roof tiled with Cotswold stone tiles.

An interesting point about the chancel and nave of the church is that the north and south walls are asymmetrical, with the first being longer than the second; this is thought to either be a builder's error, or intended to symbolise Jesus's head twisting when he was on the cross. There is also a blank wall five feet across between the two eastern windows; something not found in many churches at all.
