Super little church with interesting wall paintings / frieze depicting the history of the church and village. So pleased the church is open to visitors.

Quite large for such a small village but in the grounds of the large Ilam Hall. Attractive setting and worth a quick visit

Such a beautiful church in the picturesque setting of Ilam Park. We were glad to have stopped for a quick view and surprised by the architecture.
Definitely worth a stop while visiting Ilam Park on your visit to Dovedale.

In the grounds of the park you'll find this lovely little church.
Lovely old architecture with a small graveyard around it.
Such a shame it was locked when we went so couldn't get inside.
