Church At Steynton

Evidence of the early existence of a Christian community in this area is found in the fourth century Ogham stone (a Christian memorial), near the font. The church was originally of Norman construction. The only parts of this original building remaining are the font (1200 or earlier), the lower part of the tower and the porch entrance (1300). The remainder was almost totally rebuilt in 1883 in the Victorian neo-Gothic style.
