Church Micro 3582...Abbotsley
The church of St Margaret consists of a chancel, north vestry, nave, north aisle, south aisle, west tower and north porch. The walls are of pebble rubble with stone and clunch dressing and the roofs are of stone and lead. Although there was a church here about 1138 the earliest architectural evidence seems to follow after the suit of 1272 when the Abbot of Jedworth established his right to it. The chancel arch of this period with a south arcade and aisle of c.1300-10 which possibly suggests the date of the first stone church on the site. Some 20 years later a north arcade and aisle were added and at the end of the century a west tower was built, the nave lengthened by about 7 ft. and the clearstory added. The church was restored in 1854 and 1861; in the latter year the chancel which appears to have been contempory with the chancel arch and the north vestry and north porch were rebuilt. The tower was restored in 1884.
