Parish church [11]
Part of the churchyard, which contains a number of listed monuments.
The Anglican parish church of All Saints has 12th century origins but was mostly rebuilt in the 15th century and was restored in 1885. Constructed, on sarsen foundations, of rubble stone with limestone dressings and quoins. The tower is of ashlar and the chancel, rebuilt in 1885, is of flint with limestone bands. All under roofs of stone slate and lead. The inner doorcase of the south porch is very fine 12th century work with a 17th century door. The chancel arch is fine 12th century work with three orders of decoration. The church contains a number of excellent monuments. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035827
