All Saints, Croft
All Saints, Croft
The greenstone church, with porch, was restored in the 17th and 19th century, but is mainly Decorated and Perpendicular. It has a clerestoried and battlemented nave with north and south aisles and a battlemented tower carrying six bells. "God save the King, 1633", is described in raised letters on the south door, which is panelled, with wicket.
Within, there is a Jacobean pulpit of 1615, that is in memory of Agnes Worship and bears the name of her husband, Dr William Worship; a chancel screen, carved with birds and other creatures, which dates back to the 15th century and a very early brass half-effigy of a knight in chainmail and tunic.
Unfortunately, the church wasn't open for business. The mission statement - "To enable people to be part of the worshipping community and to know God", wasn't in force, but the pub was open.
