context_section_description: The Church (St. Mary Magdalene) was wholly rebuilt in 1836, except for the west tower, at the cost of £1000. The interior is neatly fitted up, and the tower has a clock and four bells. It contains a remarkable font of Norman date, made from a single block of lava, and a number of 17th-century floor slabs to local families.
  It was here in 1666, at this 14th-century church, that George Boone III, grandfather of the famous American pioneer Daniel Boone, was baptized.
