Church Of St Margaret

The Church of St Margaret is a parish church that dates from the medieval period and later. It is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs. The building features a west tower, an aisleless nave with a south porch, and a chancel. The early 14th-century west tower has a pair of diagonal buttresses and includes a 2-light cusped Y-traceried west window along with 2-light plain Y-traceried bell-openings. The 14th-century porch has an arched entrance with dying moulding, carved label stops, and kneeler finials depicting mutilated kneeling figures. There are 14th-century nave doorways and six late Perpendicular, flat-headed, 3-light panel-traceried nave windows with straight hood moulds that feature finely carved stops.

The chancel, dating from the 13th century, has three remodelled lancets on the north side, a 3-light east window in the 19th-century Decorated style, and two original lancets along with one 2-light Y-traceried window on the south side, all with hood moulds. The chancel arch is from the 14th century and consists of two plain-chamfered orders on polygonal responds with bell capitals. The chancel windows have nook shafts and deeply moulded scoinson arches, and there is a double piscina with trefoil arches.

Inside, there is a 17th-century communion rail with shaped board balusters and patterned rails, and a 15th-century 5-bay chancel screen featuring tracery and spandrel carvings. The pulpit is a two-deck design with an elaborately carved 17th-century polygonal box, an 18th-century tester, and a later clerk's desk. The church also contains 19 late medieval poppy-head bench ends with animal arm rests, a plain octagonal font with a Jacobean cover on turned balusters, and cock's-head hinges on the opening sides, with simple scrolls above supporting a ball finial. Additionally, there are fragments of medieval glass present.
