Imber - The Church
© Chris Waldren 2011
The Church of St. Giles viewed from east of the village.
The church occupies the site of an earlier building dating from the mid-12th century. The nave was rebuilt towards the end of the 13th century and was followed, circa 1400, by the addition of the north and south aisles, the tower and north porch. At this time the nave roof was reconstructed. The chancel was rebuilt in 1849 at which time the north-east vestry was built. Some of the 13th and 15th century wall paintings survive. In 2005 this Grade I listed building was vested in The Churches Conservation Trust for preservation and repair.
