St Giles Church, Lockton
St Giles' Church is a beautiful example of an ancient country church. It is a place of great simplicity yet has a startling stained glass window at the East end, understood to be from the Morris workshop. Its quality stands out.
The Church dates back to the 13th century (nave and chancel) with a 15th century tower. The structure is now grade II* listed.
The church itself has real charm. It has box pews adapted to the style of the nineteenth century, ancient pulpit and reading desk (separated from each other at some time in the church’s long history) along with matching altar rails.
St Giles’ has recently undergone some redecoration and a restoration more sympathetic to a building that has served its community for so many centuries.
The tower holds two bells, 21.75" F# cast in c1370, which forms part of the listed status, and a 20" bell, G# cast in 1749.
