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 and some brick dressings, topped with slate and concrete tile roofs. The church features a west tower, an aisleless nave with a south porch, and a chancel. The 13th-century west tower is unbuttressed and has a 2-light Y-traceried west window, a lancet window on the first floor, and two 2-light Y-traceried bell openings. It also includes two string courses and a parapet adorned with crocketted corner pinnacles.

The nave has six restored 3-light Perpendicular windows with embattled transoms. The 15th-century porch, which was originally two storeys high, has diagonal buttresses and features a 3-light traceried upper south window along with a pair of 2-light side windows. An unusual entrance arch is primarily four-centred but has straight sides in the central section, with a low niche on the east side of the entrance.

There is a distinctive 18th-century Dutch gable in brick, which has an exceptionally large pediment and a dentil cornice. The chancel, added in 1912, includes three 2-light Y-traceried side windows and a 3-light east window in the Decorated style. The medieval south door has two leaves with elaborate traceried panels and a quatrefoil border. Inside, there is a moulded 15th-century tower arch on semi-circular responds, and the nave is exceptionally wide with the chancel offset to the south. The chancel arch is partly medieval and features polygonal responds.

An early 13th-century octagonal font made of Purbeck marble has recessed arch decoration on its bowl, supported by eight shafts (two of which are original) and a central column. Additionally, there is a doorway in the south wall of the nave that was formerly the entrance to the parvis stair, featuring a moulded four-centred head with fine label stop carvings.
