The Grade II listed Anglican Parish Church is dedicated to St Guthlac, originating in the 13th century with alterations up the 15th.

New chancel and nave roofs were added in 1895-96 by George Frederick Bodley and Thomas Garner. Gothic revival architects.

Further Grade II listed buildings in the village are three 18th-century farmhouses, the early-19th-century Old Rectory, and the Village Hall dating from 1843.

The church and village hall are Ironstone buildings, built using materials from the nearby quarry.



If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
