The church of All Saints at Selworthy, Somerset, sits on a steep slope with fine views to the south. It has a tower that seems to be of the 1300s but the remainder is largely of the sixteenth century, with the date 1538 on a column capital. It is unusual for a relatively elaborate, rural church to be whitewashed, but here the decorative elements of the stonework - window tracery, crenellations etc - are unpainted, and the treatment works quite well. The location makes the usual photographs that are possible with churches completely untenable.
