<span style="font-size: 1rem;">There has been a church on this site since Saxon times, and there is a Saxon cross in the wall. The present building is largely 15th century, although the interior was much changed at the end of the Victorian era. The beautiful stone pulpit and font are medieval. The tower has a restored ring of six bells. There are two interesting sundials on the tower dating back to the 18th century.</span>
