For a village that has stood for several centuries, the church is relatively modern, having been built in 1893, with the porch being a later addition, completed in 1914. The church is dedicated to St John the Baptist and is thought to stand on the site of a former chapel of ease, of which there are still a few remains in the churchyard. The church now has the status of a Grade II Listed Building. Since the closure of the Methodist Church in the village, in about the year 2013, the two churches have been working together at the parish church. |
