The Grade 2 listed Parish Church stands at the crossroads at the centre of the village.Constantly changing since its consecration on September 27th 1860, the church marks chapters in the lives of both village and nation.
The tower erected in 1903 was dedicated to Queen Victoria, and the east window is a parish memorial to the fallen of World War I. During World War II the triptych was painted by a German prisoner of war held in The Hayes, and the west window, shattered by a stray stick of bombs, was replaced by the ‘Andrew’ window, with the aid of a War Commission grant.
1955 saw the addition of the choir vestry, converted to tea-point and toilet facilities in 2002, and the new millennium brought floodlighting to both church and tower.
