Description
The Church of St Simon and St Jude is a small flint church with stone dressings that dates back to the 13th century, although it was altered in the 16th century and significantly restored and rebuilt in 1861. The chancel arch and the north and south arcades, which consist of three bays leading to the nave, are from the 13th century. The aisles were rebuilt during the restoration. The very small chancel was reconstructed in the 16th century and features original windows in the north and south walls, along with two interesting niches located at the angles of the east wall on the interior. The south porch and bellcote were added in the 20th century. The church is recognized for its architectural features from the 13th and 16th centuries.
