THE CHURCH
St. Giles church has stood here since the 12th century but nothing remains of the original building which was re-built in the 15th century. From this later period only the tower, the south porch and the south wall of the nave survive, the rest having been re-built in the 19th century.
Near the south porch stand the steps and base of a 14th century cross and, nearby, the Garden of Remembrance, established in the 1960s.
At the south-east corner of the churchyard stands the village's War Memorial, moved there in 1994 from a main road site now occupied by Church Rise.
