The Church of England in St Mary’s, Sixpenny Handley,

Gussage St Andrew and St Rumbold’s, Pentridge.
St Rumbold’s church has served Pentridge and neighbouring Woodyates since at least the Domesday Book. It was rebuilt in 1855 and has links with the family of the poet Robert Browning. The twenty-nine houses that make up the hamlet of Pentridge nestle under Pentridge Hill and are surrounded by ancient barrows, Bokerley and Ackling Dykes, ancient field systems, an Iron Age Hill fort and the mysterious Cursus that is six miles long.
