St Thomas a Becket's church sits at the heart of the village tucked away behind fronting properties and accessible by climbing or descending Bridford's steep lanes. Built from the local granite which gives it a formidable grey colour the church is largely a creation of the 14th century and is completed in a mixture of both Decorated and Perpendicular styles. The rood screen is stunning. The enrichment around the arcades, etc., is particularly bold and good, and the main shafts to the principal mullions are encrusted with carving. The vaulting is missing, its place is taken by the spandrel-pieces brought down from the underside of the roodloft. The screen retains its ancient colouring, which is very soft and pleasing, and its lower panels contain small carved and illuminated figures of apostles and prophets. The date of the work is said to be 1508.
