Church Of St Helen

The Church of St Helen is a cruciform church featuring aisles and a crossing tower. It is constructed of worn ashlar in uneven courses, much of which was replaced in the 19th century when the nave was lengthened by three western bays. Some masonry from the 12th century can be found around the crossing and in the bases of the tower piers. The early 14th-century tower and most of the arcades are characterized by alternating round and octagonal piers. The chancel, dating from a similar period, has unique east windows, with two tall, two-light windows below and a three-light window with trefoiled heads set under a four-centred arch above. The chancel and aisle feature a 15th-century king post roof, while the nave has a 19th-century timber roof in a similar style. There is a 15th-century south chancel screen and late Georgian memorials on the north chancel wall. The font is dated 1669.
