Through the iron gate you arrive at St Andrews Church historically the very heart of life in the village. The church stands on ground that has been used for religious purposes since Saxon days. The first stone church was built during the 12th Century. The four stage tower with its pinnacles and staircase turret was completed in 1418 although most of the present building was built around 1400 before the tower. There are eight bells, four of them with Westminster chimes, which were added in 1922. The church has been restored many times. The only relic of the original pulpit is a carved angel sounding a trumpet in the church. A new clock replaced the old one to commemorate the coronation of King George VI in 1937. In the porch there are two tombstones displayed of two French officers. By the West door of the church stands a large granite cross, erected to the memory of the fallen in 1914-18 war. It was made at Blackingstone Quarry. There is a detailed tourist information pamphlet about the church obtainable from the Tourist Information office in the centre of the town.
