A lovely 19th century village church in a leafy well-kept churchyard. It has some beautiful stained glass and an elaborately carved marble font. Came here on a Tuesday morning when the weekly café was open. Homemade cakes and other light refreshments, and an opportunity to chat with the locals. The people were welcoming and friendly. Well worth a visit.
