St Andrew's Church, Pixley Much of the church building is thought to date from the thirteenth century. It is built of local red sandstone on a mound which until fairly recently was surrounded by a moat. The church was extensively restored in 1865. Additional repairs were carried out in the 1980s and again in 2005 when the roof and Victorian turret were renovated.

Redding Coppice is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Herefordshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 hectares, it is nestled within the stunning Herefordshire countryside, offering visitors a tranquil and serene environment to explore.

The coppice is characterized by a diverse range of tree species, including oak, ash, beech, and birch. These towering trees create a dense canopy, providing shelter for a variety of wildlife, such as deer, foxes, and numerous bird species. The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of wildflowers and ferns, adding to the area's natural beauty.

Visitors to Redding Coppice can enjoy a network of well-maintained walking trails that wind their way through the woodland. These trails offer an opportunity to immerse oneself in the sights and sounds of nature, with the gentle rustling of leaves and the occasional bird song creating a peaceful ambiance.

The coppice also holds historical significance, as it was traditionally managed for the practice of coppicing, a method of wood production dating back centuries. This sustainable forestry practice involves periodically cutting back certain trees to encourage new growth, providing a renewable source of timber.

For nature enthusiasts, Redding Coppice is a haven where one can reconnect with the natural world. Whether it be observing the changing colors of the leaves in autumn, spotting woodland creatures, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll, this woodland gem offers a truly enchanting experience for visitors of all ages.

Inside St Andrew's Church, Pixley The little white-washed nave is divided from the white-washed chancel by a screen, its entrance arch (only six feet high) made of naturally curved timbers from some great tree. The screen has three bays and the cross-beam has a patch of neat carving; So have the roof beams which match these venerable timbers. There are no iron nails in the screen, which is fastened together with pegs.
