Daglingworth - Church of the Holy Rood

The Church of the Holy Rood was built in the 11th century and extended, including the tower, in the 15th. A Victorian restoration, between 1845 and 1850, included the addition of the north aisle and rebuilding the chancel.

The limestone building consists of a nave with south porch, chancel, north aisle and west tower.

A series of Saxon carvings, including one of the crucifixion, were rediscovered during rebuilding work in 1850. They predate the Norman conquest. They are dated to around 1050. The carvings were originally built into the chancel arch and are now in the nave.
