This Anglican church started life around the 12th-century as a chapel for the parish of North Stoke and was repaired and extended using materials from another one about 1/2 mile south of the present church, which fell into disrepair and was eventually demolished.

As a side note, there is a working tap just inside the church's gate to refill your bottles - there are no signs to indicate whether the water is safe to drink, but a dog bowl placed beside it when I visited would suggest that this is indeed drinking water.

This is a lovely, Grade II listed church. The church at Ipsden fell into disrepair in the 12th century, and the materials from that were used to repair and enlarge this church - which then became a parish church. This is why this church is set slightly away from the main village of Ipsden.

Since then, there were many additions, of course. For instance, the north chapel was improved in the 14th century, and the gallery at the west end of the church was added in the 19th century. It's a beautiful English church.
