This distinctive church, on a hill overlooking the school, was built in 1779. Its classical Georgian style is the result of architect John Wood (the younger); Wood is renowned for his designs of The Royal Crescent and The Circus in Bath. Also of note is the Ricardo Monument - containing the tombs of nine of the family from whom David (famed for his immense financial standing in the Stock Exchange) came from.
