Description
The Church of St Remigius dates from the 12th century and features a Norman nave and a round tower topped with a Victorian octagonal stage that has battlements and Perpendicular bell openings. The chancel was built in the 13th or 14th century, and the south aisle was rebuilt in 1864. A south porch designed by Vulliamy in 1840 was re-erected at the east end of the aisle. The large north porch, dating from the 15th century, includes flushwork panelling, niches, and Perpendicular side windows. Inside, there is a 13th-century, four-bay arcade with square piers and pointed arches that have a slight chamfer, along with 19th-century roofs. The church is constructed from flint with ashlar dressings and has black glazed pantile roofs.
