The church is medieval but has lost much of its interest due to later restorations and most of the present fabric is from 1865 .There is also a large cemetery on the opposite side of the lane to the church.
 
 
 Major Hatherley George Moor was killed "leading his men into action". He was terribly wounded in the hip and side by an explosive bullet and he lived for about a quarter of an hour afterwards without showing any outward signs of pain.
