The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a small plain neat building without, the usual tower, consisting only of a nave and chancel.
I spoke to the Vicar in this Church, who was very proud of his church, and took great pleasure in showing me the medieval font and rare stained glass window, featuring a Boy Scout with Christ.
He told me that Scouts from around the World visit the church just to see this window. I am not sure how they know about the window as I cant find any info on the internet.
