St Michael, Church
"Essentially 13th century. North arcade of four bays with round piers. West lancet window, west chancel arch, north chapel of three bays. Of the same time is the north tower that adjoins the north chapel. Perpendicular chancel east window.
The font is octagonal and stands on a sloping octagonal base. The sides of the bowl are decorated with carved quatrefoils, with alternating roses and four-leaved flowers. The font is made of grey sandstone, apparently from the Forest of Dean. There may have been a quarry or factory in the Forest that manufactured fonts, as similar examples are found in Gloucestershire." Text Source: (visit link)
