Its impressive tower is thought to be an addition of the 15th-century, this rises to a height of fifty seven feet and can be seen from most parts of the village. The interior of the church has linenfold pews which possibly date from Elizabethan times and interestingly the church displays a record of all its ministers, from its interception early in the 13th-century right up to the present day. There are many relics from the past in the church including lovely stained glass.

Around the village the special countryside is a nature reserve, this offers interest to everyone with an amazing range of wild plants, trees, bushes and natural habitats for creatures of the wild. It is a beautiful place for peaceful walks with dramatic landscape views in most directions. There are also bridle pathways for horse riders.
