Geocache Description:

The Church

The parish church is dedicated to St Helena, who was the mother of Constantine I. The church comprises a chancel, nave and south aisle.
The tower has a pyramidal roof and had a single bell. The church is pre-Norman in origin but the oldest stonework is probably of the 13th century; however in the mid 17th century the tower became ruinous and has not been entirely rebuilt.
The name of St Sinney was attached to a tenement on the southern border of the parish; the Giffards were in medieval times the patrons of the rectory and resident not far from the church
