Welcome to St Giles’ Church, Lockton. St Giles' Church is a beautiful example of an ancient country church. It is a place of great simplicity yet has a startling stained glass window (image far right) at the East end, understood to be from the Morris workshop. Its quality stands out.

The church itself has real charm. It has box pews adapted to the style of the nineteenth century, ancient pulpit and reading desk (separated from each other at some time in the church’s long history) along with matching altar rails.

At the time of writing St Giles’ is undergoing redecoration and a restoration more sympathetic to a building that has served its community for so many centuries. Enter and be at peace.
