Little Barford - Church of St Denys

This picturesque Church of St Denys (Historic Churches Trust) is set idyllically in meadows, though the main line, the busy A1 and the Great Ouse are all nearby.
From the south the crenellated tower and aisle-less nave, with a fine 12th century doorway and windows from several periods at different levels, seem fortified and defensive but, arriving closer, one sees a delightful country church, originally Norman with additions and rebuilding in subsequent centuries.
Notable features include an impressive 14th century font, the 15th century oak screen and carved piscina in the vestry, a 16th century brass and a remarkable scheme of decoration and furnishing dating from Arthur Blomfields' restoration of 1869-71.
