Church Of St Catherine

The Church of St Catherine is a parish church that dates back to medieval times, with restoration work completed in 1861. It features a nave, chancel, and a west tower. Additions such as an organ chamber and vestry to the north, along with a south porch, were likely made during the 1861 restoration. The structure is built of random flint rubble, with the chancel being plastered and freestone dressings used throughout. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and feature 19th-century crested ridge finials, along with a parapet gable at the east end.

Inside, there is a mutilated Norman pillar piscina in the sanctuary, and fragments of 13th-century piscinas were found during 20th-century alterations. The mid-14th-century tower includes a west window supported by grotesque corbels, while the upper level was rebuilt in the early 16th century, showcasing flushwork panelled parapets and a belfry window adorned with a lionhead gargoyle on the east side. The north and south doorways are chamfered and date to the 14th century. The east window features dagger tracery and grotesque corbels, while the north and south nave windows are from the 14th century but were restored in the 19th century. There are also two early 16th-century windows on the south side of the chancel.

The chancel arch is adorned with moulded capitals that may date to the 17th century. A notable feature is the 15th-century octagonal limestone font, which is decorated with angels and lions around the bowl and supporting lions below. The church also houses four brasses commemorating 16th-century members of the Fastolfe family and four bench-ends with formal poppyheads in the chancel, one of which is dated 1615.
