Built in 1856, St Etheldreda’s Church in West Quantoxhead replaced an earlier, medieval one. The architect, John Norton, chose the late 13th Century Geometric style and reused the bowl of the old font and three bells, two of which are 15th Century. The nave and chancel arch are supported by beautifully coloured Babbacombe marble and the corbels supporting the oak roof are formed by carved stone orchestral angels. The church plate is Elizabethan but the rood screen, dismantled and stored, was later rediscovered and installed in Exford church in 1929.
