All Saints church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1336414 is set back from Church Lane and surrounded by a small woodland. It is difficult to find as not even its tower can be seen from a distance. The unusual flint and brick tower of the church has a chequerboard pattern and dates from the early 16th century. The church interior > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1336447 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1336471 was extensively restored in the late 19th century and not much remains which is of an older date. The colouring on the font bowl > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1336488 - it has an elaborately carved art nouveau cover which is suspended from the ceiling > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1336480 - was probably renewed at that time, as has the rood screen > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1336455 but the elaborate tracery is original 15th century. The church is open every day.
