Hiking

Evangelical Anglican church in the village of Poughill. Much of the church building dates from the 14th century. It is famous for its splendid carved oak bench ends. On entering the building an immediate impression is created by the magnificent pews and bench ends, the old communion table and the officiant's desk facing the people, which is a rarely found survival of earlier times.
The front hall of the church is closed with a metal fence (against birds/animals). This makes the church appear closed, while that is often not the case.

Hiking

There is a route through the grounds of the church. This leaves the site at the rear of the cemetery. The route is little traveled and at some point seems to be overgrown by weeds / nettles, but can be continued.
