St Mary's Church
A "tin tabernacle" built in the late 19th Century as a mission room, and subsequently formally consecrated in around 1903. As well as its continued use as a church, it also acts as a village hall and meeting room.
Tin tabernacles
"Tin tabernacles" (or more properly "iron churches") were produced in large numbers from the mid 19th Century into the early 20th Century. They were built with a timber frame, clad with galvanised and corrugated iron, and lined with tongue and groove boarding. Prepared as prefabricated kits, they were also exported to many countries overseas.
