Built about 1428, but with some remains of Early English and Norman features, the building contains many notable features. These include a stone font and pulpit, a squint, many stained glass windows, a peal of eight bells and a statue of the patron saint. Historically it was the centre of the Anglo-Saxon hundred.
In the year 2000 we had an area at the back of the church refurbished and made into a kitchen area which includes a toilet and hand-washing facilities, a facility much appreciated by our parishioners and where new and old blend well together.
