A small unassuming church with a late 12th century north arcade, 14th and 15th century windows. In 1896 the 7th Duke of Newcastle revived an ancient cult and re-established the shrine of Our Lady of Egmanton. He commissioned Sir Ninian Comper to furnish and decorate the inside, with breathtaking results - a magnificent organ, rood screen, pulpit, altars in the chapels, east window and the shrine of the Virgin Mary itself.
