St James's Church, Draycot Cerne, Medieval church in Draycot Cerne, England
The structure includes a thirteenth-century nave, an Early English chancel, and a two-stage west tower supported by diagonal buttresses.
Built between 1260 and 1280, the church changed names from All Saints to St Peter's before receiving its current name in the late nineteenth century.
The interior contains Victorian stained glass windows by Ward and Hughes, along with monuments including a thirteenth-century knight's effigy of the de Cerne family.
Access requires advance arrangements with a local keyholder, and visitors need to navigate through metal gates and an estate drive to reach the churchyard.
The church holds a maximum capacity of 60 people and features a Gothic pulpit, box pews, and a distinguished bust by Joseph Wilton honoring Sir Robert Long.
