Sorry, not the best of photographs
Parish Church of All Saints
Normanton
I'll have to call at the wonderful Church, in Ledsham, to take some next time I ride through the village
That has Saxon, Norman, & Victorian features
Do Chapels count?
Especially one of only a quartet of survivors in the Country?

Interesting windows - can't say I've ever seen a church with windows like that - Jacobean I wonder? But, whatever, they look more like windows of a normal house, not a church.
EDIT - could be Jacobean... from its listing "Nave rebuilt and tower remodelled late C16. [...] Nave, north wall has 2 large 3-light C16 chamfered cross windows with drip moulds"

Looking rather sombre/severe, Uplowman church, near Tiverton. I suspect the 19th century restoration was rather heavy-handed.

Holy Trinity Hatton this morning
Most of the church was rebuilt in 1888 for a local millionaire, Alfred Hewlett a mining engineer and coal mine owner who lived at nearby Haseley Manor. The architect was William Younger, one of the first Victorian architects to publish a book on the Gothic style, who also designed some well known buildings such as the War office in London and Glasgow Town Hall. However records also show that there has been a church on the site since the 12th century when Hugh Fitz Richard, called Hugh de Hatton, gave it to the priory of St Mary of Monmouth, a cell of the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Florent, Saumur, in western France.
The oldest part of the present building is the tower built in the 15th century and carries a peal of six bells. It is said that Dr Samuel Parr, vicar of Hatton and a distinguished scholar and educationalist, had the holes in the tower cut so he could hear the bells calling him, and others, to church more easily. Dr Parr was also responsible for the purchase of the 16th century glass in the west window, originally from the cloister windows of one or more monasteries in or around Cologne in Germany
