The parish church of the Ascension was originally a chapel founded in 1695. Only the apse (semicircular sanctuary as shown in the photo) remains of this original building. The rest of the church was rebuilt by Lord Dartmouth in 1834. It was made a parish church in 1883; the pews date from that time. The church was restored after the Second World War with the north and south galleries being removed and the west gallery cut back.
