Church of St michael & All Angels

Most of the church dates from a rebuild in 1863, however some wall arches of the north wall of the chancel are 12th Century, containing 2 small round-headed windows. The tall tower is 15th C. and the turret was raised and given a conical top in 1863, when Sir George Gilbert Scott oversaw the rebuilding with 14th C details. There is an interesting tomb slab of about 1500 in a recess in the chancel, said to be a member of the Delves family, Yeomen in the parish. However it has also been claimed to belong to William Dean, Knight. Currently it is blocked by pews and furniture.
