The Church of St. James is set in the centre of the village. The earliest parts of the building date from Norman times, but the main body was constructed in the 15th century, with the extension of the tower, the north and south aisles, added a century or so later. The church was extensively restored in the late 1860’s, and the pews date from this time. The six bells date from the 1770s and a loyal group of bell-ringers ring most Sundays and practise on Wednesday evenings.  Major work has been done on the tower in the last few years, and extensive work was done on the roof in the early 1990s and kitchen facilities were added. A toilet has also been installed in the vestry. The roof now again needs extensive, expensive work done.
