St Paul's Church, Highmoor

Ambrosden church

St. Paul's Church in Highmoor was built in 1859–60 to a design by the architect Joseph Morris of Reading. The building, flint-faced with stone dressings, is in 13th-century Gothic style with geometrical and plate-tracery windows. It has an aisleless nave of three bays with a west bellcote containing one bell, and a short chancel with south vestry. The entrance is through a west doorway set in a gabled projection. The furnishings are contemporary and economical in character; chancel furnishings and pulpit are wooden and gothic in style. Later embellishments include a stone and tiled reredos and some stained glass.
