800 year old small and beautiful village church. With a historic graveyard including a number of plague stones. The church is really active in the community, mainly due to the Vicar who is rock and roll excellent. The stained glass windows are amazing and one includes Queen Victoria in a wheelchair, which is an extraordinarily rare image. Well worth a visit to the church and it's graveyard.
