The beautiful parish church of St. Margaret, Long Riston - with origins back to the thirteenth century - is dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch. It is listed at Grade II* and has a varied collection of stained glass over three centuries; the latest addition marking the Millennium.
The church is set back from the main village at the end of a tree-lined track. Being set back, it is in peaceful, arcadian surroundings and is a landmark from the main road a few miles away.
