The tower is Norman and much of the rest is 14th century, including tombs of that period with carved wooden effigies of knights of the Reynes family and their wives. There is a carved medieval dog unusually named 'BO' on its collar, upon which rest the feet of Sir Thomas Reynes III (d 1390). The church has a tranquil setting and the interior is well worth a visit.
