St Mary's Church was originally the chapel for the nearby castle (of which only earthworks survive). The chancel is unusual in being taller than the nave, due to it having been rebuilt in the early 19C. The south doorway has a Norman arch with a carved tympanum showing a demi-figure of Christ and two angels, a motif more usual in France than in England.
