Grade I Listed (UK), anglican church
The first church on the site was in the Saxon era but the present church dates from the 15th century. It is unusual in that its spire is at a distance from the main body of the although although it is attached to it by a porch. Other features include a parvise over the west porch, the fine wooden roof over the nave and chancel, the large amount of medieval fittings and furniture and, in the churchyard, the large number of memorials, which include a canopied tomb.
