St. Giles' church (Acton Beauchamp)

Here is the parish church of St. Giles in Acton Beauchamp, hidden in a tranquil situation with many yew trees surrounding the building. Originally built in the 12th and 15th centuries, the present building mainly dates from 1819 with few exceptions. This is one of the few Georgian churches in Herefordshire, along with Shobdon and Brimfield.
