Parish Church of St Margaret stands near the middle of the parish. The walls are of flint-rubble with dressings of limestone and clunch; the roofs are covered with slates. The nave was built late in the 12th century. Late in the 14th century the chancel was rebuilt and shortly after the chancel-arch was rebuilt and enlarged. The church was restored in the 19th century when the north vestry was added and the bell-cote added or rebuilt. The 12th century south doorway is a fairly rich example of the period. <3>
