Church of St Margaret of Antioch, Bygrave

Some Romano-British pottery, pre-dating the present church by several centuries, was found under the north nave wall during excavations in 1993[3] indicating a much earlier settlement on this site.

[1][5][6] The church has carvings of the ancient game of nine men's morris on the frames of the chancel windows.

The nave has a window in each of its north, south and west walls consisting of two cinquefoiled lights under square heads.

The sides of the basin have rectangular sunk panels, carved with the instruments of the Passion of Christ while round the stem are displayed angels holding shields.

[1][5] The pulpit is Victorian but incorporates panels dating to the 15th century, while fixed to it is a 17th-century wrought-iron hour-glass stand.
