The Parish Church (dedication unknown), stands in the middle of the parish. The walls are partly of flint-rubble and partly of red brick, with dressings of limestone, clunch and brick; the roofs are tiled and the bell-turret weather-boarded. The Chancel and Nave are of uncertain date. Early in the 16th century the E and W walls were rebuilt above the window-sill levels and the South Porch was probably added at the same time. In the 18th and 19th centuries buttresses have been added, and the porch and the N wall of the nave partly rebuilt. <3> <4>
