Church of St Margaret

The Church of St Margaret is a church that dates from the 12th and 13th centuries, with extensions made in the mid-19th century and restoration work by Norman Shaw in 1885, which included the north aisle, west door, and window. The building is constructed of flint with stone dressings and brick dressings on the tower. It has a cruciform layout featuring a central tower, a four-bay aisled nave with clerestory windows that are concealed by circular windows. The south aisle has buttresses, while the north aisle retains a Romanesque doorway and an external stack that incorporates a doorway.

Inside, the church features four-bay circular pier nave arcades with double chamfered arches, a scissor brace roof in the nave, and a stone rib vault with chamfered arches at the crossing. There are stone benches along the north and south chancel walls, a stone octagonal font in the nave, a Jacobean reading desk and pulpit, and a 15th-century perpendicular rood screen topped with 19th-century arms. Notable monuments include a brass plate for Lucy Roper, who died in 1614, located on the floor on the south side of the altar, and a Grecian monument to Little, who died in 1844, featuring a mourning female figure beside a pedestal with an urn. There is also a monument to Sir Edward Banks, who died in 1835, flanked by representations of Waterloo and Southwark Bridges, with a central niche containing a bust. In the north aisle, there is a grey and white marble urn for James Tattershall, who died in 1784, in front of an obelisk by R. Westmacott Senior.
