Silverley was once big enough to have an impressive church, but is now no more than a farm and a few cottages. The settlement shifted northwards, to Ashley, and the church was abandoned in the sixteenth century. Only the ruined tower remains, in a copse. "Eminently picturesque in its decay. The interior especially fine, with the winding of the spiral stair ripped open" (Nikolaus Pevsner).
