This little church has a cross in the grounds. The church itself was probably here in Saxon times as a modest wooden structure but after the coming of the Normans it was replaced by a stone one. It dates from the twelfth century and presumably the cross is no earlier. Certainly the church had a number of repairs and extensions in the following centuries but the cross looks like it has had a lot of modern concrete to keep it upright.
