Place & story
Saint Sedna’s Church
Saint Sedna’s Church was built in 1837–38 as a memorial chapel for the Massey family. Limestone walls contrast with carved sandstone around its Tudor-arched doors and windows. An elaborate bellcote projects above the entrance gable. The architectural inventory records medieval church ruins in the grounds, together with the Massey family burial plot and the Givens family mausoleum. A well at the site is recorded under both Saint John’s and Saint Sedna’s names. [2]
