Alkham Church

Alkham’s 12th Century church is situated on a prominent position on high ground on the side of the valley and is approached by a steep, narrow road leading up to a lych-gate. Alternatively, you can approach it from Slip Road by walking up a small hill which is what we did. It’s 12th Century made of flint stone with a square bell tower.

 

The church owes its title "The Church Of St.Antonius of Pamiers" or "St.Anthony The Martyr" to the influence of the Abbot of St.Radigunds Abbey who was granted the parish as a gift in the 13th century.
