Church of St Thomas à Becket, Capel

It has diagonal buttresses, a battlemented parapet, and a pyramidal roof surmounted by a 20th-century cast iron weathervane.

On the west face of the tower is a plain round-headed doorway, with a double-lancet window above it.

[1] They depict biblical scenes, including Cain and Abel and Christ's entry into Jerusalem.

They were discovered in 1927 by Professor E W Tristram and restored by Mrs Eve Baker and Mr John Dives.

The stone font is probably medieval, and consists of an octagonal bowl on a cylindrical shaft.

Also on the west wall are further boards inscribed with the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments.

The stained glass in the east window is dated 1905, and depicts Christ the King, reigning from the cross, and flanked by his mother and St John.

[8] In the churchyard are two chest tombs and 15 headstones, each of which has been designated as a Grade II listed building.
