Stoke Pero Church, Medieval church in Luccombe, England
The stone building features a three-bay nave, chancel with a north porch, and a tower supported by diagonal buttresses with a stair turret.
The tower dates to the 13th century, while Sir Thomas Dyke Acland directed the rebuilding of the remaining structure in 1897 using materials from the previous church.
The church records show rectors dating back to 1242, indicating a continuous religious presence that has served the local community for over 800 years.
The interior maintains traditional methods of lighting and heating, using candles and fuel stoves due to the absence of electrical connections.
Located 1,013 feet above sea level on Exmoor, this Grade II* listed building stands as the highest elevation church in the region.
