The board states where you are and gives information on the history of the village and church.
The Church of All Saints at Segenhoe was originally built in the 11th century close to the ancient homestead of Segenhoe. The building was modified over the centuries and incorporates architecture from the 11th, 14th, 15th and 19th century. It includes a range of building materials such as brown cobbles in the oldest part, sandstone from the Greensand Ridge, red handmade bricks from the Georgian restoration and dressings of Bath stone.
The mix of architecture is shown well with the round arches of the windows and door in contrast with the 11th century plain arch with zigzag carving.
