"13th century church of St Mary the Virgin, punctuated with a superb 15th century west tower.
In the north aisle are 15th century benches that were brought here from Rishangles church. The benches in the nave a re slightly younger, dating to the mid-16th century. The bench ends sport a wonderful array of carved figures, including a dragon biting its own tail.
There are fragments of medieval glass in the north aisle windows, including a figure of a lion sticking its tongue out."
