The Church
The church of St Helen dates originally from medieval times, possibly built on the site of a previous small castle. Much of it was rebuilt in 1790 reusing the original materials, and only the west tower and west end of the old church remains. By 1890, it was so dilapidated that most of the services were held in the mission room. However in the following century it was repaired and a new porch and north aisle were added in 1939.
