Description
The Church of St. Botolph is a parish church dating from the 15th century. The nave, which is now burnt out, was originally built around 1300. The chancel, still in use for services, was constructed around 1862. The west tower features knapped flint with an ashlar base and diagonal buttresses made of knapped flint. Inside the church, there is a 15th-century octagonal font that has been relocated to the tower.
