This is a church that is about 800 years old. The first rector was appointed in 1209. It is a grade 1 listed building. It is the Parish church of the benefice. It contains some fine stained glass, some first rate carved choir stalls and pulpit. The carving was undertaken by parishioners at the beginning of the 20th Century as part of a night-school class. We are a very welcoming congregation. Do come and give us an opportunity to welcome you into our fellowship.
