view of church exterior - southeast view

Source caption: "The church was first recorded as being dedicated to St. Margaret in 1710, but most of the building derives from the 14th century. The roof has a mix of Cotswold stone slates and Welsh slates. The proximity of the church to the moated Corse Court suggests that the church may owe its foundation to the occupants of this house."
