Reynalton Church St James's Church is built on a small hill.  It has a low, battlemented, 14C or15C west tower with a gabled stair-turret, and barrel-vaulted inside.  The nave is small, without aisles but with a south transept (did this originate as a chapel?).  Opinions as to the date of the present building vary from the 14C to the 16C.  The lower part of the staircase to the former rood loft can be seen.  (Note that the church is just inside this square on OS OL36)

Reynalton Congregational Chapel The Congregational Chapel (now United Reformed Church) was built in 1867 and rebuilt in 1904, although meeting of the 'Independents' started in the barn at East Farm in 1846.  It is a simple building, but with an elaborate door-surround with a name plaque over it in the rendered gable wall facing the road, painted rather unusually in white and pale blue.
