St. Giles, Tetsworth
St Giles (650 - 710 or thereabouts) was a hermit who lived in Provence in southern France.
Widely revered in the middle ages throughout central Europe, he also managed to become the patron saint of Edinburgh. St. Giles' Day is on September 1st. St. Giles info on Link
This building is on the site of a Saxon church and later an apparently rather fine medieval one.
The present church was built in 1855 at the behest of a new parish priest, Rev. John W. Peers who had the old church demolished against the advice of the diocesan architect, and replaced it with this one.
