The original All saints Church was built in 1897. On the evening of Saturday 19th April 1941 a parachute mine landed, completely destroying the church and vicarage. Ten people were killed. Volunteers from the Canadian regiments worked to build a temporary church for the village, which became known as Canada Hall and is now used as a village hall. The new All Saints Church was completed on 19th April 1950.
