Every Sunday for a year, we’ve looked at some incredible historical shelters, but this week we hop the pond to England to take in a stunning church conversion.

Listed by Mount and Minster, this church is located in the village of Cold Hanworth, and was built in 1861. Originally All Saints Church, it was built by J Croft of Islington for Commodore Peter Cracroft, and also served as a memorial for his late father.

The former church has been transformed into a three-bedroom, two-bath home with an open floor plan, and “boasts a wealth of period features including a Grade II listed Lychgate and original stained glass windows,” the listing said. “Outside, there are beautiful landscaped gardens with mature trees and planted beds.”
