Church of St Margaret, Westhorpe, Medieval parish church in Westhorpe, England
The Church of St Margaret stands with its 70-foot western tower, diagonal buttresses, and five bells dating from different centuries through 1806.
The construction of the church began in 1350, with Lady Elizabeth Elmham providing funds for the aisles and tower construction in 1419.
The interior contains painted panels depicting St Margaret slaying the Dragon, medieval benches with carved poppy heads, and 17th-century wood paneling.
The medieval entrance door maintains its original iron boss and closing ring, which visitors can still use to access the church today.
Local records indicate a connection to Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII, with claims that her entrails rest near the church altar.
