The Anglican Church of the Ascension in Bedmond is a rare example of a surviving "tin tabernacle", a pre-fabricated church building made from corrugated galvanised iron and one of only a few remaining in use for worship in the country. It was built in 1880 at a cost of £80, which was donated by the wife of the squire.[3] It became a Grade-II listed building in 1978.[4]
