Church of St Peter, Kirkbampton
St Peter's Church in Kirkbampton dates from the 12th century, with major restorations in 1870-1 and 1882.[1] The church retains it's original Saxon-style chancel arch and north doorway, and is notable for it's a sculptured tympanum above the north doorway. An engraved Roman stone was ound in the church walls during restoration work in the 1870s. It is thought to be stone taken from the nearby Hadrian’s Wall.[2] The Church is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England.
