Church Of St Edmund

The Church of St. Edmund is a medieval church that was restored and extended around 1869. It features a nave, chancel, north aisle, and a west tower. The walls are made of random rubble, with some areas rendered; the tower is constructed of red brick, while the chancel and aisle have a facing of random squared and flushed flint, limestone, and other rubble. The roofs are slated.

A simple south nave doorway from the late 12th century has stiff-leaf imposts. The chancel, dating from the mid-13th century, has been heavily restored. Its east window consists of three lancets with linked hoodmoulds, and the south doorway and two-light window, along with a north lancet, were all reconstructed in 1869. Inside, there is a piscina with a central shaft and a window-seat sedilia that contains some fragmentary original work.

The west tower was added in the early 16th century and is made of red brick with diagonal buttressing. It features simple arched belfry openings and a two-light limestone traceried west window, along with a chamfered tower-arch. There are also two early 16th-century two-light windows located in the south nave and chancel walls. The north arcade and aisle were added in 1869, which involved removing a 12th-century north door and window.

The nave has a seven-canted roof that may be medieval, although it is ceiled with 19th-century ribbed panels. An octagonal limestone font from the 15th century features sunk quatrefoils on its bowl. There is a damaged and restored 15th-century five-light screen with carved spandrels depicting a fox, goose, dragon, eagle, and unicorn; above this is a rood-beam adorned with billet and zig-zag ornament. The chancel roof, which has scissor-braced coupled rafters, was also added in 1869.
