The village church dates from perhaps the fourteenth century, although the font inside is closer to Norman period. In 1607 a massive inundation of the Bristol Channel led to widespread flooding and loss (thought to have possibly been a tsunami). The church was deluged and a mark records the depth of flooding - 7.74 metres (25.4 ft).
