The church of St Remigius > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1770044 has a round Norman tower with the top section and parapet added in Victorian times > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1770049. Nave and arcade date from the 13th century, the chancel was added a century later. The elaborately carved pulpit is Jacobean and has an hourglass stand attached to it. The church was extensively restored in the 19th century when the south aisle > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1770062 was added. The stained glass > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1770060 dates from that time. What now serves as a vestry on the south side of the chancel is the former medieval south porch.
