This peaceful little church stands 800 feet above sea level, and commands stunning views all around. St. Margarets is situated on the border of the Southern Marches and indeed many features of the church are Welsh rather than typically English. John Betjeman rather beautifully wrote:
“My own memory of the perfect Herefordshire is a Spring day in the foothills of the Black Mountains and finding among the winding hilltop lanes the remote little church of St. Margarets, where there was no sound but a farm dog’s distant barking.”

Many of the soft sandstone gravestones in the churchyard are weathered beyond reading, but a few sheltered ones survive including one for Harriet, who died in 1910 aged 77 – she was the wife of William Powell of Rock Cottage. It is inscribed “She was District Nurse – attended 526 births and never lost a mother”.
