Parish Church
The nave of the Church of England parish church of Saint James may be 13th century: it has a 13th century lancet window in the west wall and a 13th century doorway (not in its original position) in the south wall. The windows either side of the south door are 14th century, and so too may be the north door. The blocked west doorway is late 15th or early 16th century and in the north wall are two 16th century windows. The south porch may be 17th century. The chancel was added in the 19th century and the transepts in 1841.
