The church, which is normally kept open, dates from the 12th
century and is on the site of an earlier church. It includes
material from the former church at nearby Washingley,
used in a 15th century repair operation. Of special interest
are memorials to the crews of two Flying Fortress
bombers from the former airfield at Polebrook. At the
end of a troubled mission over occupied Europe on 6th
February, 1945 they collided nearby with the loss of both crews.
