The medieval church of Saint Mary's was consecrated in 1094. It shows evidence of architecture from many different periods: Norman, early English and Perpendicular. There was then a major restoration during the Victorian era under Giles Gilbert Scott. St. Mary's wooden spire was completed in 1450 and it is covered with twelve tons of lead.
