Church Of St Margaret

The Church of St Margaret is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period and underwent significant restoration in 1898. It is constructed of flint with stone and brick dressings, topped with lead roofs. The church features a west tower, a nave, a south porch, and north and south transepts. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and has a west window with three ogee-headed lights and panel tracery, set within a four-centred arch and topped with a hood mould. Above, there is a blocked slit light. To the south, there is a two-light opening for the ringing chamber under a square hood, and the tower has two-light bell-openings: the west opening has cusped lights, while the north and south openings feature roundels in their heads, all with brick voussoirs and hood moulds. The tower is adorned with gargoyles and has a parapet, with a stair on the north face that includes quatrefoil lights.

The nave consists of four bays, with a blocked doorway to the north and two restored three-light windows with panel tracery and four-centred arches. The north transept has been extensively restored, as has the south transept, which also features two similar restored three-light windows. The chancel includes one three-light window with panel tracery to the south and an east window with five lights and panel tracery. There is a 19th-century porch at the first bay and a 19th-century nave doorway.

Inside, the tower arch has been restored and features shafts with polygonal capitals and bases. The transept archways and roof are from the 19th century, and some medieval stone pieces have been re-set. An alabaster kneeling figure from the tomb of Lady Mirabel Heyden, dated 1593, is now placed in a 19th-century niche.
