Foxley Parish Church

Foxley Church lies at the centre of this attractive rural village.  This is one of the few churches in the country with an unknown dedication.  

There is a low west tower built in the 17th century with pinnacles which seem rather too big for the tower.  The north arcade is Early English, although the west bay has been demolished.  The piers have attached shafts but decorated trumpet scallops.  The north aisle was extended in the later Middle Ages; a north chapel has also been demolished.  The south porch and doorway in classical style are 18th century.  The church was restored between 1903 and 1933.

There is a Jacobean communion rail but the Jacobean pews, with knobs, have been cut down to make benches.  The reredos is 18th century: plain panels and moulded frames.  A good monument to George Aycliffe, died 1722 has columns wreathed with flower garlands, but no figures.
