Dist:0.3km north<br/>Pevsner describes the early 16th century rood screen in St Margaret's Church as "..one of the wonders of Herefordshire, deliciously carved and in extremely good preservation. It is really a loft whose coving rests on two posts. The posts are covered with delicate, lacy ornament and have two little niches near the top, for statuettes."
