Church of St Germain

The Church of St Germain is a parish church that dates from the 11th century, with additions and alterations made in the 13th, 15th, and 19th centuries. It is constructed from coursed and random rubble, featuring ashlar dressings, and has a slate ridge roof with an ashlar coped gable. The building includes a west tower, nave, and chancel all under the same roof, along with a north aisle and a south porch.

The west tower, which dates back to the 13th century, has been significantly restored in the 19th century. It features a single window on the west face with Y-tracery under a hoodmould, and the bell chamber has four openings with Y-tracery, one on each face, also under hoodmoulds. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and topped with a battlemented parapet, with a central gargoyle on each face.

On the south front, there are two two-light windows under segmental arches on either side of the porch. The porch itself has rubble walls with a wooden gable and slate roof, protecting a plain Norman doorway that predates 1200. The chancel is illuminated by three lancet light windows under flat hoodmoulds, and the east end features a three lancet light window. The north front includes a single lancet window lighting the chancel and three 15th-century aisle windows, all flat-topped with ogee lancets, including a triple window to the east and two double windows.

Internally, there is a 13th-century three-bay arcade on the north side, supported by octagonal piers and double chamfered arches, along with a pointed tower arch. Notable interior features include a fine 15th-century octagonal font, a 19th-century rood screen in perpendicular style, and a 19th-century wooden pulpit and pews.
