The village church is St Nicholas church which is almost completely Saxon in its structure with its font probably dating to the same period.[2] The building has been dated as having been constructed in 1064.[3] Further work appears to have taken place in the 13th century.[2] In 1577 a monument to Ralph Henslowe was added to the interior.[2] A general restoration was carried out in 1853 at which point a bell-turret was added and the current furnishings were fitted.[2]
