Church Of St Margaret

The Church of St. Margaret is a parish church with origins dating back to the 13th century, featuring a west tower from this period and a belfry stage added in the 14th century. The nave and aisles were converted into an aisleless nave in the 15th century, and the chancel, also from the 14th century, underwent alterations in the 15th century. The church was restored between 1898 and 1900. It is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs.

The tower is a three-stage square structure without buttresses, featuring an arched western light and two-light louvred belfry windows with broken tracery, topped with a crenellated parapet that is set back. There are remains of blocked aisle west windows. The nave has diagonal corner buttresses and two stepped side buttresses, along with two restored Perpendicular nave windows. A blocked north double chamfered doorway includes a holy water stoup to its west. The gabled south porch is accessed through a wave moulded arch and has knapped flint on its south face, with a wave moulded inner doorway and a 15th-century arcaded door. The porch integrates into a buttress. A 19th-century priests' door is located on the south chancel, along with diagonal east buttresses and a five-light east window from the 19th century, which reflects a mix of Decorated and Perpendicular styles. The north chancel wall is blank.

Inside, there is a double chamfered tower arch, with blocked windows from the original aisles on either side. The chancel arch is double hollow chamfered with polygonal responds and capitals. A blocked north doorway is present, and the nave and chancel roofs are scissor braced from the 19th century, featuring four 19th-century tie beams. There are 17 bench ends with poppyheads from the 15th century. A cinquefoiled piscina is located in the southeast nave wall, and a square-headed piscina is found in the north wall to the left of a segmental rood stair opening, with stairs to an upper doorway still intact. The dado of the 15th-century rood screen includes four subdivided traceried bays on either side of the opening, with spandrels featuring carved vegetation and birds. The chancel piscina from the 14th century has a cinquefoiled design below hood on labels, and there is a 14th-century octagonal traceried font with cusped two-light tracery on the stem panels, alternating flowing and early Perpendicular tracery in the bowl panels.
