St Giles' Church, Horsted Keynes, Norman church in Horsted Keynes, England
The stone building features a central tower with a broach spire, lancet windows, and robust walls that demonstrate Norman architectural principles.
Founded in 1101, St Giles' Church stands on a former pre-Christian worship site, incorporating elements of Saxon construction in its present structure.
The church maintains strong connections with St Giles' Primary School and conducts regular services that bring together multiple generations of the local community.
Visitors can access the Grade I listed building throughout the year to examine the 13th-century heart shrine and three 17th-century bells in the tower.
The churchyard contains the burial site of former British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, alongside centuries-old gravestones of prominent local families.
