St. Gregory's Church, Welford

St. Gregory's Church stands on the site of an original Saxon church. The Norman church was heavily restored in the mid-19th century and only the unusual Norman round tower and 13th century spire are original and even these were taken down stone by stone and carefully re-erected as they were previously thought to be unsafe. Inside the church are some beautiful carvings and a good collection of monuments. St. Gregory's is one of only two existing round-tower churches in Berkshire, the other being St. Mary's at nearby Great Shefford.
