Stansfield church is perched on the brow of a hill heading down into the village below. It is quite an impressive church for a small parish and has a scratch dial on a buttress. It doesn’t have a clerestory and the windows of the embattled south aisle are not large enough to allow enough light into the 14th century nave. This unfortunately makes it quite a dark church, especially on a dull day. The font is of two distinct parts; the roughly carved bowl is 16th century. The four clusters of three columns which support it look like new. Between the chancel and the chapel is a 13th century arcade of two arches. Nearby is a coeval pillared squint. In the chancel there is an iron-bound chest, above which is the piscina. A Stuart goblet-style pulpit with steps leading up to it, stands on a stumpy pillar.
