ST. PETER, SATTERLEIGH |
|
St Peter's Satterleigh is a rural gem, a tiny historic church in a farmyard. It is currently cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust. It is part of the parish of Warkleigh with Satterleigh. All the regular services are held at St John the Evangelist, Warkleigh. However, several special services are held each year.
A creaking medieval door opens into a charming interior, with a panelled oak roof, carved pulpit, medieval bench ends, reading desk and beautiful painted texts. Above the pews, the 24 hat pegs are a reminder of the congregation's size - the church holds no more than 40.
On a sunny day, pretty windows scatter light on the rough, limewashed walls. There is a fifteenth-century font and pretty Victorian tiles.
Satterleigh Church is not easy to find. It is easy to miss the sign which takes you up a lane towards the church and a farm.
