Saxon churches are early medieval Christian places of worship found primarily in England, dating from the 7th to the 11th centuries. They are characterized by their simple, sturdy architecture, often built from local materials like flint and stone. Many Saxon churches feature round towers, thick walls, and small windows, reflecting the practical needs of the time. These churches often served as community centers and were integral to the spread of Christianity in the region. Notable examples include the St. Peter's Church in Barton-upon-Humber and St. Mary's Church in Bramber, which showcase the unique architectural style of the Saxon period.
