St Columba's Church, St Columb Major, Medieval church in St Columb Major, England.
The stone church features a passage under its tower, multiple pointed arches, and large windows that fill the interior with natural light.
Dating from 1350, the church underwent repairs in 1676 after three students caused an explosion by igniting stored gunpowder, leading to substantial renovations.
The church holds 33 wooden bench ends from 1510 depicting religious symbols, including an unusual carving of a dog preaching to a pig.
The building contains eight bells cast in 1776, which continue to ring for services and special occasions throughout the year.
The tower, completed in 1433, incorporates an uncommon architectural element with a walkable passage constructed underneath its base.
