The first parish church on the site was built in the 12th century, and there are traces of 13th and 14th-century work inside. The church as we see it today was rebuilt in its present form in the 15th century and has an impressive 130ft tower with a peal of ten bells, and inside there are many interesting carvings on the roof timbers.

Opposite the church is the 19th-century flint and brick former vicarage. To the left is the red brick wall that once surrounded Old Hall Place, an 18th-century mansion. A gateway survives, with gates in elaborate wrought iron and in the 1950’s, an archaeological dig revealed a large Anglo-Saxon settlement in the area to the east of the wall.
