St John the Evangelist Church, in Countisbury, is an 18th and 19th Century rebuilding of an earlier church. It contains a reset medieval bench end with crowned swan and arms and a screen dating to the 1700s.

This small castle-looking church is perched up on the hill. It is open all the time to visitors - even as a refuge from the weather.

Delightful little old church with an enchanted cemetery. The pub is just around the corner 😁
