| Alford, St Wilfrid* |
There has been a church on this site since around 1150, and parts of the current building date back to the 14th Century. There are some original features amongst which are a 14th Century screen, a fine Jacobean pulpit, traces of 16th Century glass and a 17th Century tomb in the chancel. The church was restored in the 1860s when the north aisle was added. Over the south porch is the Parvis Room, used as the first grammar school in Elizabethan times. One of its pupils was possibly John Smith. Saved from death by Pocahontas, he became Virginia’s first governor.
