Church of the Holy Ghost, Crowcombe, Medieval church in Crowcombe, England
The Church of the Holy Ghost features a 14th-century tower built from red sandstone, along with a nave and chancel from the 15th century.
Lightning struck the church spire in 1724, causing its collapse, and parts of the fallen structure now rest in the churchyard as historical remnants.
The church contains carved bench ends from 1534 depicting local folklore, including two men fighting against a two-headed dragon of Shervage Woods.
The tower holds six bells used for change ringing, with practice sessions occurring every Thursday evening from 7:30 to 9:00.
The church features a private Carew chapel constructed in 1655, which continues to serve the Carew family to this present day.
