Parish Church
The Church of England parish church of Saint Andrew has an 11th century Saxo-Norman chancel that combines characteristically Saxon double-splayed windows with Norman flat buttresses and has reached Grade I listed status. The nave and two-bay arcades are Early English Gothic. The north aisle is now railed off to form the Tichborne Chapel, with monuments to members of the manorial family. The west tower was added in 1703 and is built of blue and red brick. It has a ring of six bells cast between 1737 and 1887.

Famous quotes containing the words parish and/or church:
“There is not a single crowned head in Europe whose talents or merit would entitle him to be elected a vestryman by the people of any parish in America.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of sacralizing person and community.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
