Event Description

Enjoy the beautiful architecture of this Grade I-listed church, including its lovely tower, original Jacobean pews, fine chancel arch and an intriguing ‘stepway’ to Heaven?

Volunteers will be on hand between 2pm and 5pm to show you around and help you pinpoint the special features that make this charming little church such a gem.

Pendock Church is a local landmark, seen standing proud above the M50 motorway to Ross-on-Wye. Earthworks in fields to the north of the church indicate the site of a medieval village and probably the de Pendocks’ manor house.

Much of this charming church is Norman, but the tenth-century font indicates an even earlier building; in the fourteenth century new windows were added, and the west tower was constructed. There are lovely sixteenth-century pews and Jacobean communion rails. It is thought that the great English composer Sir Edward Elgar, who was born not many miles away, may once have played the lovely little Georgian organ inside.

Please park carefully on the lane or drive up the track to park nearer the church.
