The origin of this Church is lost, but it certainly existed in 1506. Instead of the usual dedication to a patron saint, it has the unusual name of ‘Jesus Church’. The whole Church was dismantled and rebuilt in 1736, and a major restoration took place in 1861. The massive beams are almost certainly from the original Church. Also remaining from the original is the tiny three light window in the tower. In the gallery hang the Coat of Arms of George II, painted on wood in 1737.
