The Parish Church of St. Peter and St. Paul is a 14th century building of Charnwood stone with evidence of 12th century building, shown by the Saxon-Norman font and Norman capital preserved inside the Church. Hathern Cross stands in the centre of the village, probably 14th century, it would have been a Christian monolith, a site from which sermons would have been preached. It became a convenient place for meetings and business and it is thought that markets were held beneath it.
