St Dubricius, Hentland, Herefordshire, England, Photograph by James Russiello August 27, 2010
"The church of St Dubricius at Hentland dates to the middle of the 11th entury, though the bulk of the current building is 13th and 14th century. It is entirely possible that there was a church here well before the Norman conquest; indeed, the name of the village comes from the Welsh words for 'old church'.
The dedication to St Dubricius (or Dyfrig in Welsh) suggests that there was a ink between Hentland church and the 5th or 6th century monastery that Dyfrig founded at Llanfrother. There are several interesting historical furnishings, including a carved Jacobean chair and pulpit and a 17th century parish chest that still has its original locking mechanism. There is a ring of four bells, with one being medieval and the other three dating to 1628.
"The other interior feature of note is the octagonal font, which is 15th or 16th century. The poppy head decooration on the choir stalls are 16th century work. The rood screen is Victorian, but it incorporates bits of a 15th century screen. In the churchyard stands a badly worn 14th century cross, unusually still standing in its original position despite efforts to damage it by Puritan sympathizers in the 17th century."

"Hentland church is one of the oldest in the deanery of Ross and Archenfield and is set in an idyllic position next to Pengethley Park.
"The main part of the church dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. The St. Dubricius window with the hedgehog is the symbol of ancient Archenfield called “Ergyng” by the Celts meaning “Land of the Hedgehog”.
"The hand pumped organ in the chancel by J W Walker was installed in 1869 and a fund has been set up to restore the decorative organ and the surrounding crumbling plasterwork.
"The most interesting monument in the old churchyard is the 14th century medieval cross with four effigies on the face.
"According to parish records the Great Yew was planted on Shrove Tuesday 13th February 1615.
"There is a spring and holy well on the North East churchyard boundary, sometimes called the lip well, one lip was for people, the other for animals." Source: Visit Herefordshire Churches
