Description
The Church of St Giles is a parish church consisting of a chancel, nave, north porch, and west tower. The walls of the chancel and nave likely date back to the 12th or possibly Saxon period, but the church was substantially rebuilt in the 14th century. The tower was constructed in the 15th century, and the north porch is a 19th-century addition. The church has a King-post roof and is built with knapped flint and roughcast, covered by a tile roof. The font is a replacement of an earlier Norman design. A 17th-century pulpit is also present, alongside an almost complete set of armour with a tabard.
