The church of St John the Baptist is at the centre of the village. The church tower is late Saxon and pre-dates the Norman Conquest by approximately 100 years. The belfry and the circular staircase to the top of the tower are typical examples of pre-Conquest stone construction. The exterior of the east wall has a bulge to accommodate the staircase built within it, and is approximately wide. Most of the steps are original and are severely worn down through centuries of use. The church contains memorials to past residents, and historical items such as a hautbois, an early form of oboe.
