    Sometimes described as the most beautiful modern church in England, this magnificent sandstone building, with an embattled central tower, dates back to the 1870s and was the inspiration of Emily Meynell Ingram, daughter of the first Viscount Halifax, who was widowed after only eight years of marriage. She commissioned the church, designed by George Frederick Bodley and generally acknowledged as an architectural masterpiece, as a lasting monument to the memory of her husband, Hugo.
