English Churches
This category includes all English churches, of whatever Christian denomonation, from cathedrals down to chapels of ease.
Most of the village churches in England and Wales date back to early mediaeval times. Without a doubt, from the time of King Canute each parish had its own place of worship, and many had one centuries before his time, but most of these ancient churches will have been humble affairs, built from humble materials. Where stone was not abundant, wood had to suffice. The vast majority of England's churches were rebuilt after the Norman conquest - generally in the 11th and 12th centuries - and although a few retain part of a Saxon wall, or a Saxon archway, very few can be described as Saxon. One exception is Bosham Church.
