The parish church of St Mary was constructed in the 13th century with 15th century alterations and a restoration in 1855 This very old wooden gate, which has the carved letters "Enter into this gate with thanksgiving" is not likely to last much longer.
The rear, or north side of the church, with an ancient doorway and one that has been blocked up. The bell tower on the west end of the church
