Description
The Church of St Margaret is a parish church that likely originated in the 12th century. The chancel and nave were primarily rebuilt in the 13th century, with a south porch added during the same period. In the 15th century, the east wall of the chancel was rebuilt, and it underwent further reconstruction in 1833. The church was restored between 1936 and 1937.
